For mentors

You already know the thing they are stuck on.

Most founders fail on a problem someone else solved five years ago. The Mentors Circle exists to shorten that distance.

Why mentor

What you get back.

01

Matched, not assigned

You get founders in your sector at a stage you have actually operated through.

02

Bounded commitment

From two hours a month. We would rather have two real hours than ten nominal ones.

03

The circle itself

Mentors meet mentors. For most people this turns out to be the reason they stay.

04

Visible outcomes

You see what happened to the company you advised. Reported, not implied.

05

Dealflow, if you want it

Many mentors angel-invest. The Alliance is one door away.

06

No performance theatre

No mandatory panels, no LinkedIn quota. Advise, and go back to your job.

Engagement levels

Pick the load that fits your year.

You can move between levels at any time. Nobody is locked in, and stepping down is not a failure.

Advisor

2 hours a month. One founder, ongoing.

Sessional

4–6 hours a month. Office hours across a cohort.

Programme Mentor

8+ hours a month. Deep with two or three companies.

Judge

Episodic. City rounds and the national final.

Three ways in

Potential is evenly distributed. Access is not.

PRISM exists to close that gap. Pick the door that fits you.

Founders

You have a company and you need mentors, capital and a room that takes you seriously.
