What To Expect

DO GOOD X will provide an orientation each August for mentors accompanying Fellows participating in the Startup Accelerator. Mentors will provide encouragement, journey with Fellows through the accelerator, share stories of lessons learned, troubleshoot potential problems, and connect participants to resources that will help advance their business ideas.

Mentors will accompany one to two social entrepreneurs during the 10-week Startup Accelerator (August - November) and assist them in preparing to pitch their business ideas.

We expect mentors to:

Be committed and responsive.
Be authentic and direct.
Listen well with empathy.
Guide entrepreneurs but don’t dictate their next steps.
Challenge entrepreneurs and hold them accountable.

I know that when I support entrepreneurs in creating businesses that impact the world, I’m not only helping people chase their dreams, but also helping the planet heal in the process.

BROOKE WRIGHT

Atlanta, GA

Starting a business comes with so many emotions. The fear of the unknown, the excitement of what it could be, and the overwhelming number of hats you have to figure out how to wear as an owner. I’ve had many of my own ups and downs and would not be where I am today had it not been for the many people who advised and guided me along the way. I couldn’t be more excited to invest in others who are just beginning their journey.
