The UCSC Business Plan competition invites members of the Santa Cruz and Silicon Valley business community to offer entrants to this competition their advice and expertise. We are seeking experienced entrepreneurs, business owners/leaders, technologists, legal and other service professionals. If you have 1-2 hours a week to sign on as a team memtor, or would even like to "be on call" on a particular topic for specific needs of business plan contest competitors, sign-up now!
While we would love to assure every mentor who signs up a role with a team, in our inaugural year of this competition, we have chosen a more passive role. Through a series of mentor mixer events, presence at numerous Santa Cruz business development community events, and this portal, we hope to provide numerous opportunities for contestants to search, meet and network toward securing sound mentorship.
To register to become a mentor, please complete the following form. Fields with an asterisk (*) are required. If you choose to upload a picture, this picture will be displayed on the web site. If you upload a resume, it will only be shared with contestants and contest administrators.
