Mentorship for Entrepreneurs

Real guidance. Real growth.

We connect aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs with experienced mentors to build smarter businesses and more confident founders.

Overview

Many passionate individuals dream of launching businesses but lack the direction and confidence to move forward. Our Mentorship for Entrepreneurs initiative offers structured, expert-led support across business strategy, marketing, tech, finance, and leadership to empower founders from day one.
Led by Gully Future Foundation, this free startup mentorship aims to break the barriers early-stage founders face, especially those from underserved regions. Through our entrepreneur guidance programme, mentees gain clarity, avoid common pitfalls, and grow with confidence alongside experienced professionals.
