Mentor Entrepreneurs for Element 46 Incubator Program

Westchester County Executive, George Latimer, has announced the launch of the Westchester incubator program called Element 46. Designed to inspire and support entrepreneurial talent and the development of new businesses in Westchester, the first cohort of Element 46 will be selected in April and begin in July 2019. A cohort of 15 selected entrepreneurs will be housed in a number of co-working locations in the County. By providing founders with access to programing, mentors, and other resources, Element 46 will help turn promising ideas into thriving businesses, and promote entrepreneurship and economic development in Westchester County.

Mentors
Element 46 builds a community of support around founders by bringing together a robust network of seasoned entrepreneurs, experienced change-makers, and leaders across sectors.

Mentors will assist the startups who are chosen for the program by offering their expertise, time and support. Mentors may include those with specializations in technology, finance, business strategy, venture capital, marketing or other thought leaders. We look to the mentors to provide our startups with the opportunity to have open conversations on a range of topics to include company progress to date, staffing/recruiting, value proposition, refining the pitch presentation or whatever is needed. Mentors select a startup to work with through the duration of the 4 month Incubator Program.

Our mentors are expected to provide 3 hours of private discussions with the startup per month. Minimum time commitment is 12 hours.

The deadline to apply to be a mentor is April 19, 2019.
