The problem
Most startup programs are paid for by someone else: a government agency, a university, a corporate sponsor. Each wants to know what the money achieved.
When the report is due, the team chases every startup for numbers. Some answer late, the rest in different formats, and the report ends up with meeting counts instead of results.
How organizations usually handle it
Teams send a survey at the end of the program and build the report in a spreadsheet. The numbers are a snapshot, without a starting point to compare against.
How mentoring solves it
Mentoring produces change slowly, over months, and it is easy to lose track of. When startups record a few figures every month, the change becomes visible: where each one started, and where it ended.
How it works on Mentornity
A few figures each month
Startups enter customers, team and, with consent, revenue and runway. It takes a few minutes.
A report for each reader
Reports are ready for your team, for the startups themselves and for funders, without rebuilding them each time.
Privacy built in
Funder reports show money only in ranges and hide any group of fewer than five startups.
Excel and PDF
Each report exports to Excel or PDF, ready to send.
What you can measure
Change in customers, team and money across the program, by startup and in total, plus how regularly each startup met its mentor.
Questions
Can funders see each startup's revenue?
No. Funder reports show money only in ranges and hide groups of fewer than five.
Do startups have to share financial figures?
Only with consent. Financial figures are optional and each founder decides.
