Mentorship Connection
VC4A is not responsible for the payment processing nor will it take a percentage of the amount paid. However, when a mentor reports to VC4A that there is a problem with payment this will result in actions taken against the entrepreneur, such as deletion of their account and banning them from VC4A services in the future.
