Expertise matters.
Trust is the threshold.
Publishing a profile is the end of a review process, not the beginning. No placeholder seat represents an appointed Mentor.
Relevant evidence
Demonstrated operating, technical, market, capital or governance experience relevant to Founder decisions.
Trust review
Identity and professional history verification, references where appropriate, and Code of Conduct acceptance.
Conflict disclosure
Current investments, advisory roles, service interests and other conflicts are declared before matching.
Founder-safe practice
Confidentiality, consent, non-solicitation and responsible feedback expectations are completed before sessions.
✳The mentor compact
Give candour.
Protect trust.
Share the upside of insight.
Mentors help Founders identify blind spots, test decisions and build stronger companies. They do not sell services inside sessions, pressure Founders for equity or misuse confidential information.
- Disclose conflicts and incentives
- Keep Founder information confidential
- Separate advice from personal investment interest
- Follow the global Code of Conduct
The final mentor incentive and any equity/impact-sharing terms remain pending Canadian legal and nonprofit review.

✳Mentoring in practice
Structured contribution, not open-ended advising.
Mentor time is matched to a defined Founder decision. Preparation, boundaries and follow-through make every interaction more useful.
Decision clinics
Short sessions focus on one consequential question: positioning, architecture, enterprise sales, hiring, governance or capital readiness.
Milestone panels
Mentors review evidence and deliverables at defined program points. Feedback is recorded as recommendations, risks and questions—not instructions.
Office hours
Specialists may offer scheduled availability for tactical questions. Confidentiality, conflict disclosure and the prohibition on in-session selling always apply.
Global contribution
Mentors can support local Chapters and selected global sessions. Matching considers expertise, lived experience, sector context and conflicts.

to meaningful action.
Join the founding network as a Founder, Chapter Lead, Mentor or ecosystem Partner.
