About the Program

Entrepreneur Mentor Society is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization designed to educate, promote, and develop aspiring young entrepreneurs. You will receive an invaluable interactive experience in regards to learning business aspects, resume building and general exposure to genuine business issues. We seek to create a network of today's talented, brilliant, and powerful college students and young professionals to become tomorrow's entrepreneurs by providing:

Saturday Sessions are 2-3 hour meetings with successful business owners and executives. They are generally hosted at the facility of the business. The guest speaker will discuss the history of his/her startup, explain the nature of the business, 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 16+ successful entrepreneurs, participants will have gotten a holistic view of "what it takes" to become a successful entrepreneur.

One-on-On 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 and hands-on approach for developing entrepreneurs. Internships are through selected business affiliations that offer a great opportunity to apply lessons learned to real life situations. The internships will also create environments where the hands-on experience will prove to be invaluable in regards to learning 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 an entrepreneur. Acceptance into the program is highly competitive and requires the submission of an application. Only 40-45 participants are selected each semester from the hundreds of applicants in the greater Los Angeles area.
