become a CED VMS Mentor
CED VMS mentors are volunteers interested in giving their time to help entrepreneurial ventures with the challenges they face as they scale their company. Mentors come together monthly to listen to venture pitches, learn more about the challenges each venture is facing, and then volunteer to be on a team that fits their specific interests, skills, and experience. A team of three to four mentors meet with a venture every four to six weeks, typically for a three to nine month period. VMS Mentors have significant operations and/or startup experience, are good listeners, have time to participate, and a desire to give back

When we started with VMS, there was just the two of us. We got connected with two wonderful mentors who helped us navigate some early challenges with the company, both in terms of strategy as well as making a decision around potentially joining an accelerator program or taking investment. It was a phenomenal experience.”
