Mentor roundtable (Session I)

​Mentor Roundtable
The Mentor Roundtable is an interactive, small-group session designed to connect students, alumni, and early-stage entrepreneurs with experienced mentors from diverse industries.

• ​Validating and refining business ideas

• ​Navigating funding and investment opportunities
