We believe in the power of mentorship to pave the way for professional success. Whether you’re making a career pivot or just starting out, the advice, guidance and insight from those who’ve been there done that can make all the difference. This has been proven especially true when it comes to improving graduation rates and professional prospects for for college students.
For this reason, we’re excited to share today our investment in Mentor Collective, the technology platform that powers mentorship programs for colleges and universities. Mentor Collective helps universities activate intentional relationships between students, alumni and employer relationships. Started by visionary education entrepreneurs Jackson Boyar and James Morrissey, Mentor Collective’s proprietary tools and processes have already catalyzed more than 30,000 mentorship relationships across a fast growing network of partners including Princeton University, Indiana University and San Francisco State University.
We are delighted to invest in this seed round alongside Lumina Foundation, IU Ventures, EduLabs Capital Partners and Emerge Education. Read more about Mentor Collective’s fundraise at EdSurge.
