The SBA says that the TOP reason businesses fail is NOT because of a lack of money — it’s because of a lack of sound professional advice. Be smart and avoid that fatal problem by joining TiE Rockies and getting an experienced mentor today!

Remember that you don’t have to be a start up to benefit from a mentor — no matter how many years of experience you have, a good mentor can be the difference between success and failure. A mentor is similar to a small board of directors and you’ll notice that ALL large companies have boards of directors to help them think through problems and challenges. Everyone can benefit from a mentor!

How TiE Mentoring Works

Step 1- Request a mentor– Fill in the form to notify us of your interest and include the mentee application. The more details you provide thebetter. After your information is receivedit will be sent out to about 25 mentors who have volunteered to act as your mentor on a pro bono basis for up to 3 months and 3 hours of strategy sessions.

Step 2- Mentor selection– One or more mentors generally respond to mentor requests within a week. The mentor chair will partner you with a mentor by providing an e-intro. If you haven’t heard back within 10-days pleaseemail or call us. Sometimes technology doesn’t always work as planned.  Call the Executive Director at  303-773-0809 or email us at [email protected]

Step 3 – Meet with your mentor – Contact your mentor by “replying all” to the email introduction soeveryone knows you are connected. Set the 3meeting locations, time and date to meet with your mentor. Notify the TiEmentor chair of the meetings. We track our mentor results and want you to be successful throughout this program.

Step 4- Rate your mentor – Respond to the survey(s) to let us know how the mentor experience is working for you. Your mentor gets a survey too.
