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. With a goal of supporting early-stage entrepreneurs developing breakthrough science and technologies, 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.

Spark Fall 2024 will run between the weeks of September 23rd – November 15th with a Mentor Match event to be held on September 17th.

If you’re interested in applying for our Fall 2024 cohort, see the links below!
