Why Mentorship Is One of the Most Powerful Gifts You Can Give
This Giving Tuesday, we’re celebrating something more valuable than money: the gift of time, connection, and community. At the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, we believe that mentorship is one of the most meaningful ways to uplift entrepreneurs and support their journey to success.
Mentorship is more than sharing expertise—it’s about offering encouragement, building confidence, and helping someone turn their vision into reality. Whether it’s a single conversation or a long-term relationship, mentorship fuels progress and purpose.
Mentorship Transforms Lives—and Businesses
Behind every bold founder is often a mentor who listened, challenged, and believed in them. Just ask Abby Coyle, a Winter 2024 Milestone Makers graduate:
“Kylee Hall was AWESOME! She was truly the perfect mentor for us. Her experience as the VP of marketing at Remind (a K12 edtech platform) was EXACTLY what we needed, and we ended up bringing her on as an advisor post Milestone Makers!”
Mentorship bridges the gap between ambition and action. It equips entrepreneurs to navigate challenges, make smarter decisions, and accelerate growth.
