Program Update

Mentees and Mentors,

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.

Hello, I have touched base with several mentors and none have gotten back to me. How long does it take for a response? Should I touch base again?

Hi Alix

What specific areas do you need help with? Mentors may be able to answer questions but not commit to a mentoring relationship.

Cheers, Merydith
