MBI MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS

MBI’s mentorship programs are open to all Massachusetts-based life science startup companies

SPARK

Thanks to a Growth Accelerator Fund Competition (GAFC) award in 2023 from the Federal Small Business Administration (SBA), MBI and The Venture Forum were able build our Spark mentorship program.  The free, 8-week long Spark program will pair aspiring entrepreneurs in need of guidance with mentors who are ready to dive in and catalyze the development of startup companies.  The program is designed to support early-stage entrepreneurs developing breakthrough science and technologies.

Spark Fall 2024 will commence in October with a Mentor Match event to be held on October 8th!
