The Mentor Portal — A Guide for Mentors
As a mentor, you have your own dedicated portal where you can manage your availability, view your sessions, and connect with startups. This guide walks you through everything.

The dashboard shows:
- Upcoming sessions — Your next scheduled meetings
- Quick stats — Total bookings, hours mentored, startups helped
- Your cohorts — Which cohorts you're assigned to
Setting Your Availability
Navigate to Availability to define when you're free for sessions.
