Information
The Entrepreneur Mentor Society is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization designed to educate, promote, and develop aspiring young entrepreneurs.
We seek to create a network of today’s most talented, brilliant, and powerful college students and young professionals. EM provides:
• Eight (8) Saturday sessions per semester with a wide-range of successful business owners, executives, and entrepreneurs who highlight a specific business topic (i.e. finance, marketing, logistics, operations, IPO)
• One-on-One Mentorship with successful entrepreneurs
• Internship opportunities
• Exclusive networking events
• Insight into the crucial elements necessary to become a successful entrepreneur
Saturday Sessions are 2-3 hour meetings with successful business owners and executives. Guest speakers discuss the history of their startups, explain the nature of their businesses, highlight relevant business issues and impart general expert advice derived from years of experience. All meetings end with a Q&A session where participants can obtain further advice and clarification. After meeting 30+ successful entrepreneurs, participants will have recevied a holistic view of what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur.
One-on-One Mentorship consists of entrepreneurs who volunteer their time to guide and inspire program participants. Program participants are paired with Mentors who provide the best fit based on interests, aspirations, and backgrounds. This opportunity fosters a more personalized experience and enables Mentors to provide advice not only on business issues, but also to provide general advice as many program participants are just beginning their careers.
Internship Opportunities provide an interactive, hands-on approach for developing entrepreneurs. Internship opportunities are acquired through selected business affiliations that offer the opportunity to apply lessons learned to real life situations. Internships also create environments where the hands-on experience teaches business aspects, case studies, resume building and general exposure to genuine business issues.
Entrepreneur Mentor Society is open to any aspiring entrepreneur. Priority is given to high-achieving college-level, graduate-level and young professional applicants who have a sincere desire to become entrepreneurs. Acceptance into the program is highly competitive and requires the submission of an application. Only 40-45 participants are selected each semester from hundreds of applicants in the greater Los Angeles area.
