One of the primary purposes of the MRS Entrepreneurship Challenge
is education. A big part of this is giving participating teams a chance
to interact directly with a volunteer mentor who can help guide the
development of their entry. This need not be done face-to-face. Email
and conference call consultation can be a tremendous plus, especially
for our international participants.
If you are an experienced entrepreneur, venture investor, or service
provider (for example, a patent attorney with startup experience) and
you would like to contribute your time to the competition, please email
your resume to entrepreneurs@mrs.org to
participate. Upon acceptance, your resume and email contact information
will be posted here for the competitions teams to consider. This
will allow the teams to survey the available mentors and find one that
best matches their needs. (Please note that judges cannot be mentors).
If you are an
Entrepreneurship Challenge participant and would like the help of
a volunteer mentor, you can browse the posted mentor resumes below.
Feel free to contact any mentor by email who has not already been
matched with a team.
