Entrepreneurs Corner Mentoring Program
Since 1996 the Lester Center has recruited successful Bay Area entrepreneurs as student mentors. They act as leaders, mentors and educators and hold scheduled office hours for students who need advice or help with their business ideas and career goals. Our mentors are successful Bay Area entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and lawyers who provide wisdom and guidance to UC Berkeley’s emerging entrepreneurs.

Our regular mentoring program pairs student-entrepreneurs with experienced professionals for 20-minute sessions.
Availability of appointments with mentors is announced by e-mail ONLY. We will send out each announcement 3-4 days prior to the mentoring hours.
If you'd like to sign up for e-mail announcements, you can do so on our Contact page.
In order to accommodate as many students as possible, unfortunately we cannot guarantee more than one mentoring slot per student per month. Schedule permitting, we will attempt to accommodate additional requests. We appreciate your understanding.
Mentoring hours are in-person only. Exceptions will be granted for Berkeley-Columbia and EWMBA students with specific requests for phone appointments. Unfortunately, we cannot schedule meetings more than one week in advance.
Mentoring slots are available for current students and recent alumni--those who graduated within the past two years.
In order to sign up for a mentoring slot, you must respond to the email announcement we send out about a specific mentor. To receive our mentoring announcements, please sign up for our mailing list.
