Structured mentoring programs have evolved in recent years to become a powerful tool for more than just learning and development. A well-designed and managed program can result in powerful cultural shifts, can improve organizational health, attract and retain quality talent, and definitely boost entrepreneurs to show higher agility and resilience.

Research shows that there is always a need for effective support mechanisms for all stages of the entrepreneurial process to advance the continued existence of businesses (St-Jean & Audet 2012). Challenges encountered, such as selling, marketing, and raising funds (Han et al. 2012), require that the entrepreneur seeks external advice to remain relevant and successful.
