We appreciate your interest in mentorship. Please be advised that after March 31, 2024, the Business Mentor NY Program will cease to operate. However, you can continue to access mentoring services by contacting Entrepreneurship Assistance Centers in your area at esd.ny.gov/eac-directory to obtain one-on-one counseling with your current business idea or small business.
If you would like to continue offering pro bono mentoring services to entrepreneurs or small business owners, please email us at nylovessmbiz@esd.ny.gov with your core business skills, experience or education and your preferred service area.
I have six years of experience working with entrepreneurs in the prestartup and startup stages. I run a local entrepreneurship assistance center through which I facilitate a 10-week business training course and worked with about 500 businesses to register their business, apply for licenses and permits, write business plans, and create marketing and financial strategies.
How to work with me
What I can offer
I can provide entrepreneurs who are in the planning stage of their business with how to organize their operations and think about marketing.
My expectations for a successful mentoring relationship
A successful online mentoring relationship requires both parties to get very specific about the problem being faced and be respectful about each other's online boundaries.
How entrepreneurs can prepare before we start
An entrepreneur should really think about the problem at hand and specify what they cannot figure out on their own.
