How do you handle my application data?
The information you share is treated as confidential and used only to review your application and support mentorship matching.
Once accepted as a startup, how long do we get access to mentoring?
As long as both the startup team and mentors feel it’s beneficial. On average, teams meet with mentors every two months and can request additional meetings as needed.
Do you charge any fees, take equity, or claim intellectual property?
No. Your intellectual property remains your own, and we don’t take equity or charge any fees. Mentors are volunteers and follow a strict ethical code of conduct to create a safe space, which means they cannot invest in startups they mentor.
What are the key selection criteria?
Team strength, market insight, validation/traction, and mentorship readiness.
Do I need to be part of Concordia University or District 3 to be part of MentorConnect?
No. MentorConnect is open to all venture teams and experienced business leaders in the greater Montréal region.
Who is MentorConnect for?
Innovation-driven tech startups based in or connected to Montréal that have achieved early traction.
How soon will I hear back after applying?
Within 10 business days.
What happens after I submit my application?
Our team reviews your application and may reach out with follow-up questions if needed.
