Pinto Amandine

I’m interested in mentoring because I advise start-up since 8 years now.
Throughout my career, I have worked closely with early-stage and growing entrepreneurs across Africa and the diaspora, particularly in the tech, creative, and innovation-driven sectors. I have seen firsthand how mentorship can accelerate decision-making, build confidence, and help founders avoid common pitfalls.
My own experience spans ecosystem building, program design, market entry strategy, and business structuring, with a strong focus on inclusion and gender dynamics. I have supported entrepreneurs through acceleration programs, masterclasses, pitch preparation, and strategic advisory, often working with founders navigating resource constraints, international expansion, or the transition from idea to sustainable business.
As a mentor, my focus areas include entrepreneurship and innovation, early-stage strategy, business model refinement, go-to-market approaches, internationalization, and ecosystem development. I am particularly interested in mentoring women entrepreneurs and underrepresented founders, helping them clarify their vision, strengthen their positioning, and access opportunities within local and global ecosystems.
Mentoring, for me, is also a two-way exchange: it allows me to stay grounded in emerging challenges, learn from diverse perspectives, and contribute meaningfully to building resilient, impact-driven entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Because I have experience, I love to work with new company and help them build stable and scalable business that can have a positive economic impact.
