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.
Our first cohort is currently underway, but if you’re interested in applying for our next group, see the links below!
