Mentor Connect: Powering the Next Gen of AI Startups
Are you a mentor or looking o become one?
🔥 You’ve built things. Scaled things. You know the road because you’ve walked it.
Welcome to Mentor Connect — where the next generation of AI startup founders are looking for guidance from those who’ve been in the trenches: you.
This event is for experienced operators, founders, domain experts, and tech leaders who want to pay it forward — not by giving a lecture, but by rolling up their sleeves and mentoring startups solving real problems with cutting-edge AI. You’ll meet bold, early-stage AI Forge founders building the future across industries like healthtech, fintech, edtech, fashion, robotics, legal, climate, and more — and they’re looking for hands-on mentors who can help them go further, faster.
We’re part of AI Forge — a venture-backed programme supporting high-potential founders as they build, launch, and scale AI-driven startups. And our founders aren’t just dreaming — they’re building right now.
This is your chance to plug into the frontlines of AI innovation — not as a spectator, but as a force multiplier.
🌟 What’s going down:
⚡ 2-minute lightning pitches from AI Forge startup founders who are looking for active mentors
🤝 Followed by relaxed networking, drinks, and real conversations (no stiff panels or staged Q&A here)
🌍 Meet ambitious startups working on everything from robotics to climate AI, fashion tech to legal automation
🚫 One big rule:
This isn’t a job fair or an investor mixer. This is for people who want to mentor — to guide, challenge, support, and shape what these founders are building.
