How to book a mentoring session
Sign up
Create an account and make sure to complete your startup profile. If your project has Belarusian roots, operates in EBRD countries, and DOES NOT operate in Belarus or Russia, you can apply to the Mentoring Support Program. All other startups can book mentoring sessions under the standard terms.
Complete verification
Apply to join the Program and we will verify your startup information. Once approved, a package of discounted mentoring sessions will become available in your account. Verification usually takes up to three business days.
Choose a mentor
Browse the mentor directory and use filters for experience, industry, and expertise. You can also explore popular requests from other startups. Review each mentor's profile and expertise before making your choice.
Book a session
On the mentor's profile, select the WESTART/EBRD Program if you participate, then choose an available slot or suggest your own time. Clearly describe your request to make the session more effective. Complete the booking by paying through Stripe.
Join the session
Track your request in My Sessions. Once the mentor confirms it, a Zoom link will appear in the request details. Join at the scheduled time. Sessions last up to 55 minutes.
