What you get

Four parts of the offer, fully integrated.

Parts of this can be built in-house. Most partners choose not to, because the cost, the lead time and the ongoing maintenance do not stop.

  • A verified mentor network

    Two hundred senior leaders, founders, NEDs and specialists built over a decade through The Experience Bank. Quality is verified at onboarding and refreshed continuously.

  • Delivery infrastructure on day one

    Matching, scheduling, sessions, messaging, payouts, GDPR and audit trail. You do not build any of it, and you do not spend staff time keeping it running.

  • Programme controls and credits

    Fund cohorts, allocate credits, set caps per business and per programme. Mentor pools can be ring-fenced or shared across regions.

  • Reporting that closes the loop

    Cohort activity, hours delivered, outcome surveys, spend and mentor coverage, exportable and ready for funder reporting.
Programmes

From a single cohort to a regional rollout.

Each programme is shaped to the funder, the businesses and the mentor pool. The platform, the verification standard and the reporting stay the same.
