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.
Two meetings per month
