New Mentor Application

Spring 2010 Denver Area

Thank you for applying to be a Mentor in the Founder Institute. It's rewarding work. You can help a group of Founders avoid mistakes that you once made and hopefully make them more successful as a result. Past mentors include influential CEOs and thought-leaders, such as Jason Calacanis of Mahalo.com, Michael Arrington of TechCrunch, Scott Heiferman of Meetup.com, Philip Kaplan of Adbrite, Aaron Patzer of Mint.com, Marc Pincus of Zynga, and Munjal Shah of Like.com - just to name a few.

The ideal Mentor is or has recently been a founder of a successful startup company, preferably the CEO. As a Mentor, you are asked to lead at least one training session and as many as three. Each training session has two other Mentors and lasts just under four hour long. Preparation will take about an hour.

Founder Institute Mentors are compensated with equity value from all of the participating companies in a semester. Each graduating company contributes warrants for 3.5% of the company into a Bonus Pool. The Mentors receive 30% of the Bonus Pool allocated based on how the Founders rate them. The Founders also participate in the pool with another 30%, creating a sizeable exchange.

After you apply below, you will be taken to a page where you can select different semesters and different sessions to Mentor. Thank you, again, for applying.
