Mentors :: Become a Mentor
Mentors provide one-on-one assistance to student teams that are participating in any phases of the WBPC. Mentors, who commit to a minimum of one 30-minute meeting, will have the opportunity to share their experience and insights with motivated students, network with them, and contribute to the Wharton School and the University of Pennsylvania. Mentors are honored and thanked for their participation at a reception to be held at the final round of the WBPC.

For a guideline of mentors' responsibilities, visit the Mentoring Guidelines page.

Mentors may include (but are certainly not limited to):

• Entrepreneurs who can troubleshoot and focus a business plan
• Attorneys
• Accountants
• Consultants
• Venture capitalists who can make a business plan more attractive to investors
• Others who can advise students about specific aspects of their business plan

The WBPC welcomes interest from prospective mentors. Contact the Directors of Mentoring for more information.

Mentors are expected to be sensitive to the nature of confidential business planning ideas and materials and respect the intellectual property rights of the student teams. Conflicts of interest should be brought to the attention of the Directors of Mentoring .
