Grow your Future with our Venture Mentoring Services Program

As we wind up 2016, our pilot year, we are pleased to report success.  From 0 to 14 mentee companies and 50 trained mentors TCM VMS achieved its goals for the pilot.  Mentee companies are actively engaged with their mentor teams and reports from the mentees indicate a uniform sense of progress. We continually receive thank yous and praise for the program. And, we have a first capital raise of $500,000.  Our goal is to reach 30 mentee companies in service in 2017.

With the expanding interest and participation, as well as our improving operational efficiencies, we have capacity to continue expanding.  We are seeking mentee company candidates that meet the parameters for the program. Mentees come by referral.  If you can identify a candidate company, please do so by contacting Pam Lubel, VMS Program Manager at MTC (Plubel@techcouncilmd.com). 

Prospective mentees generally should have:

1. A “tie” to Maryland;
2. A tech or biotech product or service with proof of concept established in someway;
3. At least one full time employee (presumably, the CEO);
4. A direction towards obtaining “series A investments”

We are looking for companies beyond the earliest stages, but still young in the development cycle and in need of practical assistance with growth and scaling issues.
