Mentoring is first and foremost a relationship of trust based on a voluntary commitment and free and regular exchanges between a mentor and a mentee, supervised by a third party facilitator, ESSEC Alumni and its Entrepreneurs Club.

If you have taken the plunge and launched your entrepreneurial project, you can benefit from the support of an experienced graduate to accelerate the development of your business: become a mentee!

If you are an experienced entrepreneur or company director, get involved in this scheme for solidarity and intergenerational transmission: become a mentor!

Who can become a mentor?

• ESSEC graduates with a significant amount of experience as an entrepreneur or who manages a business as part of a managerial or operational team.
• They may be active in any industry (tech, etc.) and must be able to provide support to a company or start-up in its early stage (0-2 years) or scale-up phase.

Who can become a mentee?

• ESSEC graduates who are ESSEC Alumni contributing members, who have supplied the capital to start their own business and who manage the business.
• Ideally, they should be working at the business full-time (half-time at least).

The length of the mentorship is set by the mentor-mentee pair, generally lasting no longer than one year (6 months for Station F incubation program).

Each pair establishes their own dynamic, keeping in mind that the mentee is responsible for organizing meetings.

The mentor and mentee must be on the same page about how often they meet and for how long.

For instance: Monthly meetings that last between an hour and an hour and a half.
