i413 May Mentorship Meeting

Mentorship Nights: Feedback, Customers, and Momentum for Early-Stage Startups

Mentorship Nights are part of the i413 4-month Mentorship Program, designed for strong Accelerator applicants who weren’t selected for the current cohort but show clear potential.

Rather than sending these founders away, we invite them into a structured monthly series where they refine their pitch, pressure-test their strategy, and connect with mentors and potential customers in the community.

Startups are here to change the world, and we’re here to help them. Everyone has something to give and something to learn. You don’t have to know what that is when you walk in—that’s what we’re here for. The right conversation can save you months of wasted effort.

• Founders get real-time, actionable feedback.
• Mentors and attendees get early access to emerging companies.
• Our ecosystem stays connected to promising startups who may apply for a future Accelerator cohort.

This is not a pitch competition. It’s not a sales event.It’s focused, founder-centered development in community.

Free to attend. Come ready to engage.
