Mentors

IE University's extensive network of mentors is made up of entrepreneurs, professionals, investors and successful business experts from various fields, many of whom are successful alumni. Our mentors volunteer their time, leading students by example and offering valuable feedback as they set out on their own entrepreneurial journeys. Thanks to the support of these dedicated individuals, our students face the world with expert insights and confidence in their abilities.

INVESTORS-IN-RESIDENCE

Our Investor-in-Residence program is an optional component of the Venture Lab. The individuals who volunteer their time to the program are successful investors and serial entrepreneurs, looking to use their real-world experience for good in supporting students at the Venture Lab Accelerator. Their insights will provide students with the information they need to prepare for investor negotiations in the future.
