Mentorship That’s Meaningful (and Flexible)
Why become a mentor in the Lighthouse Network?
Mentoring with Lighthouse is more than giving advice—it’s becoming a force multiplier for founders who are building the future. Our mentors engage in meaningful, flexible ways: some serve as lead mentors guiding founders week to week during our accelerator, others join as subject matter experts for targeted sessions, and many stay involved long after programs end through ongoing calls, strategic check-ins, or the Service Exchange platform. In return, mentors gain deep relationships with high-potential founders, early access to investment opportunities, and recognition across our events and media. With clear onboarding, quarterly briefings, and dedicated staff support, Lighthouse makes sure your time and expertise create lasting impact while you stay connected to a vibrant, values-driven community
