You have done this before. They have not. That is the point.
EmergIT mentors are experienced founders, professionals, and sector specialists who want to be genuinely useful to the next generation of builders. Not as a line on a CV. Not as a networking exercise. As someone who has been through what these graduates are going through and can help them avoid the mistakes that cost time, money, and momentum.
Matched to a real venture, not an early idea.
You are not joining a committee. You are not attending workshops. You are matched to a specific EmergIT venture—a team of four to six graduates building an AI-native business or social enterprise—at the point when they have something real to talk about. That means after MVP, not before. We will not waste your time on ideas that have not earned it yet.
A light, focused advisory commitment.
The commitment is two hours a month, typically a fortnightly check-in with your matched venture. You advise, you challenge, you open doors when the time is right. You do not run the business. You do not make their decisions. You bring the perspective that only comes from having done it yourself.
Put hard‑won experience to work.
If you have built something, sold something, scaled something, or failed at something—and you want to put that experience to work for a team of graduates who are building right now—register below.
