For accelerators and incubators
Put the right mentors in front of every founder.
Mently helps accelerators manage their mentor network across cohorts: matching founders to relevant expertise, tracking engagement, and showing sponsors what mentorship delivered.
Brands that trust us
Your mentor network is only an asset if you can use it
Most accelerators have a strong bench of mentors but limited visibility of who is helping whom. Accelerator mentor management turns a contact list into a working network: the right expertise for each founder, balanced mentor load, and evidence of impact for sponsors.
Expertise goes unused
Founders keep meeting the same handful of mentors while specialists in the network are never introduced.
Mentor fatigue
Popular mentors get overloaded across cohorts, and your most requested mentors decline return invitations.
Impact is anecdotal
Sponsors ask what mentorship contributed, and the answer is a few quotes collected at demo day.

FAQ
Accelerator mentor management questions
Can we use one mentor network across several cohorts?
Yes. Mentor profiles live in a shared network, so you can match the same mentors into different cohorts and programs while tracking their load.
How are founders matched to mentors?
You set the criteria, such as sector, stage, or the expertise a founder needs. Mently recommends matches, and your team reviews and confirms them.
Can we show sponsors the impact of mentorship?
Yes. Mently tracks founder progression and mentor engagement during the program, and reports can be exported as PDF or CSV.
Does Mently replace our application process?
Mently focuses on running the program once founders are selected: mentors, matching, sessions, progress, and reporting. Book a demo to talk through how it fits your current setup.
