**About Mentorloop**

Having the right support is critical to a founder or senior leader learning the ropes on their startup journey. That's why Invest Ottawa launched Mentorloop, a volunteer advisor platform to connect startups with experts in the field.

Founders and leaders from startups can use an intuitive search function to browse our network of entrepreneurs, advisors, and experts to find their perfect match for the challenge they are facing or the specific guidance they are seeking.

Volunteer Advisors (referred to as Mentors on the platform) have the final say on the mentees they connect with. Unavailable for a period of time? No problem, you can set your profile to ‘hidden' for an unlimited amount of time.

We're looking forward to hearing from you. The sign-up link for Invest Ottawa's Mentorloop platform is not public and invite only. You will be sent an official invitation to join the platform following your outreach.

At Invest Ottawa and Bayview Yards, we are focused on doing better and committed to leading by example because it's what's best for us, our culture and our community.
