Mentor of the Month Program – DERBI Foundation
A startup founder’s life is challenging. They are constantly moving to keep themselves afloat. The outcome of your business depends on a number of decision points that could be pivotal in your startup journey. Mentors may be incredibly helpful in these times. Mentors can help you find the right people to join your team, find the right investors, determine the value of your company, or lay the groundwork for your future success in business.
English billionaire Richard Branson couldn’t have put it better when he spoke about the value of mentoring: “Every start-up team needs at least one good mentor, no matter how extraordinarily smart you believe you are, or how innovative, disruptive, or just off-the-wall your new concept could be.” You are mistaken in thinking that nobody else has ever faced what you are! Someone, somewhere, has already gone through it! Although their version was analog rather than digital, rest assured that many business principles remain the same. Building a new company requires more than technical know-how and creative brilliance; it also needs people, and if you want to develop a great culture and a great product, those people need to be taken care of in a variety of different ways.
