BE A MENTOR IN BOSTON'S STARTUP COMMUNITY
Help Founders Take Their Next Step
Behind every thriving founder is someone who took the time to listen, challenge and guide them along the way. At Startup Boston, we see that impact every day - whether it’s a seasoned founder helping an early-stage team navigate their first raise, or an operator sharing hard-won lessons over coffee.
We’re building our 2026 Mentor Roster to connect experienced founders, operators, and ecosystem leaders with startups across New England. Whether you’ve scaled a startup, led a team through growth pains, or just love helping others figure it out - your experience can make a real difference.
Give Back. Stay Connected.
