Mentor Council
The Education Entrepreneurship Hub mentorship program brings together aspiring student innovators and industry trailblazers.
Mentors offer invaluable guidance, sharing insights on strategy, learning sciences, and market trends, and navigating challenges. Mentees gain actionable advice to clarify their journeys and fuel their entrepreneurial ambitions.
Mentors were selected based on their industry expertise and entrepreneurial experience to offer diverse perspectives and advice to aspiring education entrepreneurs.
We are currently piloting the Mentor Council. If you are interested in joining as a mentor for future iterations of the Mentor Council, please email edupreneurship@stanford.edu.
