Although we celebrate women leaders all year round, during #SGWomen Month we give special kudos to the amazing, incredible, intelligent (we could go on and on!) women who make the tech, investor, and startup landscapes what they are today.

#SGWomen Month launched six years ago and is about putting a heightened focus and an awareness on our everyday mission to create more inclusive communities. Never has Startup Grind’s mission been more potent than in the realm of entrepreneurship, startups, business, and to represent women everywhere.

This year we wish to host a unique experience, themed around “Women Empowerment” and “Women Leaders” for which we wish to reached out to stakeholders to partner in the ecosystem who are aligned to the same values and vision.

We reached out to our partners Headstart Network Foundation, Her Entrepreneur Network India, The Talk, Her Ace Venture Evangelist (H.A.V.E) and Helm of 8 Impact Ventures to help us curate 30+ mentors, and host an incredible array of speaker sessions on 3 weekends of July 11th, July 18th and July 25th, whilst running a mentorship opportunity for our communities and more.

For the first time ever, we are launching a Mentorship Programme with the Startup Ecosystem Partners for budding and aspiring female entrepreneurs. The goal of this programme is to provide women entrepreneurs the required support and guidance that they seek for making their startup journey successful.

More about our Mentorship Programme

Everyone needs a mentor. Without one, none of the success stories you may have heard about would ever exist. To be a mentor means to be a role model, to provide guidance, motivation and emotional support. To be a mentee is to absorb the mentor's knowledge and have the ambition and desire to know what to do with this knowledge.

This Mentorship Meetup is part of our #SGWomen Leaders campaign that is running from June through July 2020. Depending on the success of this format we will be looking to more of these for different niche sectors underserved in the ecosystem. 

We will host more of these where you can hope to find the right mentor for yourself. And if you are someone who has benefited by receiving mentorship in your life and wish for an opportunity to pay it forward, here is your opportunity to come share your story and become a mentor with us.

This programme will run on a rolling basis, wherein we will periodically offer a list of industry and startup experts as mentors who will support a selected number of female founders.

The last date to apply for mentorship is July 19th 11:59pm IST.
