Mentoring holds a special place in my heart for several reasons. Firstly, there’s an innate drive to give back to the startup ecosystem and support the next generation of entrepreneurs. Witnessing their passion and ambition fuels my own desire to contribute knowledge and guidance, helping them navigate the challenges I once faced.

Moreover, mentoring serves as an avenue for discovering new investments. Engaging with emerging businesses allows me to explore potential opportunities that align with my interests and investment objectives. It’s not just about financial gain; it’s about finding promising ventures and being a part of their growth story.

Learning about various industries and new businesses is another motivating factor. Each mentoring relationship offers a chance to delve into different sectors, understanding their intricacies and innovative approaches. This continuous learning process enriches my own knowledge base and keeps me updated on industry trends.

Scouting for opportunities to serve as an advisor or on a board seat is also a key motivation. By mentoring, I get to identify standout talents and ventures where my experience and insights could make a significant impact. It’s about fostering mutually beneficial relationships where I can contribute meaningfully while aiding these ventures’ progress.

Lastly, mentoring facilitates networking and forging connections, both for myself and the organizations I represent. Building a robust network opens doors to collaborations, partnerships, and synergies that can benefit not only me but also the broader ecosystem I’m a part of.
