## What this page says

Mentornity is mentorsoftware voor bedrijven, universiteiten, accelerators en communities: matching, planning, sessies en rapportage, sinds 2015.

Published 2026-08-01, updated 2026-10-20.

**Mentornity** is mentorsoftware voor bedrijven, universiteiten, accelerators en communities. Matching, planning, gestructureerde sessies en rapportage zitten op één plek. Het is in 2015 opgericht en draait programma's voor organisaties van Toyota en TIM tot UNDP en de Universiteit van Basel. Op Capterra scoort het 4,7/5.

## Wat Mentornity doet

Het dekt de hele levensloop van een programma:

**Figure: Een programma in Mentornity, van begin tot eind**
1. Inschrijven: Excel-import of aanmeldformulieren
2. Matchen: Regelgebaseerde scores, goedkeuring door beheerder
3. Plannen: Mentees boeken tijdsloten van mentoren
4. Sessies draaien: Briefings en formulieren per gesprek
5. Opvolgen: Herinneringen en Programmagezondheid
6. Rapporteren: Rapporten en certificaten

- **Inschrijving.** Importeer deelnemers uit Excel, of publiceer aanmeldformulieren voor mentoren en mentees, met automatisch accepteren of handmatige beoordeling. Uitnodigingen worden gevolgd: verstuurd, bezorgd, geopend.
- **Matching.** Een regelgebaseerd algoritme vergelijkt profielvelden met wegingen en verplichte filters en scoort elke match van 0 tot 100. Beheerders bekijken elke match naast elkaar, met bij elke regel of die is gehaald, en keuren ze één voor één of allemaal tegelijk goed. Dezelfde gegevens geven altijd hetzelfde resultaat.
- **Planning.** Mentoren publiceren eenmalige of wekelijks terugkerende tijdsloten; mentees boeken ze. Links voor Zoom, Google Meet en Teams worden automatisch aangemaakt, Jitsi-video is ingebouwd, en Google- en Outlook-agenda's synchroniseren in twee richtingen, met conflictdetectie.
- **Structuur.** Programma's werken met **sessies**: gespreksonderwerpen met een aparte briefing voor mentor en mentee, datumvensters en vragen voor en na elk gesprek. Liever lichter? Een vrije vorm met feedback na elk gesprek werkt ook.
- **Betrokkenheid.** Superherinneringen bereiken de juiste mensen: gebruikers die nooit inlogden, matches die achterlopen met sessies, openstaande formulieren. Aankondigingen gaan naar mentoren, mentees of iedereen, met reacties open, gesloten, gemodereerd of alleen voor beheerders.
- **Overzicht.** Gids & dashboard scoort de Programmagezondheid op elf dimensies, zoals dekking, momentum en stilgevallen matches. Het geeft advies in gewone taal, zoals “4 mentees wachten nog op een match.” In grote programma's wijst het Coördinatiecentrum coördinatoren per match toe.
- **Ondersteuning.** Deelnemers lezen in de app gidsen voor hun eigen rol en sturen verzoeken naar een bord dat alle beheerders delen. Antwoorden komen bij leden aan onder de naam van het programma.
- **Erkenning en rapportage.** Regelgebaseerde certificaten met openbare verificatiepagina's en delen op LinkedIn. Acht soorten rapporten exporteer je als CSV of Excel, of als pdf met grafieken.

## Wat het anders maakt

**Eén platform voor elk soort programma.** Het draait [mentoring voor medewerkers](https://www.mentornity.com/nl/mentorsoftware-medewerkers/) met SAML SSO en [mentornetwerken van accelerators](https://www.mentornity.com/nl/mentorsoftware-startups/) met boekbare spreekuren. Het draait ook [alumniprogramma's van universiteiten](https://www.mentornity.com/nl/mentorsoftware-studenten/), [communitymentoring](https://www.mentornity.com/nl/mentorsoftware-communities/) waarin mentees zelf kiezen, en [leiderschapsprogramma's voor vrouwen](https://www.mentornity.com/nl/mentorsoftware-vrouwen/) met groepen. Rollen kun je hernoemen (coach, adviseur, expert, alumnus) zodat ze bij je community passen.

**Matching die je kunt uitleggen.** Elke regel, weging en uitkomst is zichtbaar in het vergelijkingsscherm, en het algoritme is deterministisch. Vraagt iemand waarom twee mensen zijn gekoppeld, dan kun je het laten zien.

**Echte lokalisatie.** De interface is vertaald, en alle 35+ soorten meldingsmails gaan uit in de eigen taal van de ontvanger. Eén programma kan mensen in Berlijn, Amsterdam en São Paulo bedienen.

**Openbare prijzen.** Gratis tot 10 gebruikers, daarna € 249 per maand voor 50 actieve gebruikers in de eurozone. Elk land heeft een gepubliceerde prijs, zonder opstartkosten. Hoe platforms zich verhouden, lees je in [wat mentorsoftware is](https://www.mentornity.com/nl/mentorsoftware/).

## Voor wie het is

In de eerste plaats voor programmabeheerders: HR- en L&D-managers, programmaleiders van accelerators, alumnirelatieteams, communityorganisatoren en leiders van vrouwennetwerken. Mentoren en mentees krijgen een begeleide ervaring; beheerders krijgen de knoppen.

De snelste manier om het te beoordelen is een echte pilot. [Maak een gratis programma aan](https://www.mentornity.com/nl/gratis-proberen/) met maximaal 10 gebruikers en volg de ingebouwde checklist. Iemand van het Mentornity-team helpt je gratis bij de eerste inrichting.

## Mentornity in brief

Mentornity is software for running mentoring programs: companies (onboarding, career, leadership, reverse mentoring), universities and alumni networks, startup accelerators and incubators, associations and professional communities, and women's leadership programs. One program team sets the program up; mentors and mentees take part from the browser or their phone. It has run programs since 2015.

### What changes for the program team

- **Matching stops being a spreadsheet job.** The team writes rules on the questions mentors and mentees answer (same department, related expertise, more experience, a specific answer paired with a specific answer), each with a weight. Mentornity scores every possible pair from 0 to 100, leaves out pairs that fail a mandatory rule, and shows the reasons behind each score. An AI rule reads free-text goals and adds to the same score. The same data always gives the same result, so every match can be explained to a manager or a participant. The team approves pairs, lets mentees choose from a ranked list, or opens a mentor pool.
- **The first meeting happens quickly.** Mentors publish their open hours once or as a weekly pattern; mentees book them. Busy time in connected Google and Outlook calendars is blocked both ways, and every meeting gets a Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or built-in video link without anyone creating one. Mentornity's own data on 78,000+ pairs: pairs that met in their first week averaged 2.7 meetings in the first year, against 1.8 for pairs whose first meeting came after two months.
- **Quiet pairs are found while they can still be saved.** Program Health flags pairs that stopped meeting, and automatic reminders go to people who never logged in, pairs behind on their sessions and anyone with an open form or missing feedback, in each person's own language. In the same data a pair silent at day 60 has about a 1 in 3 chance of meeting again; by day 90 it is 1 in 10.
- **Every meeting has a plan, if the program wants one.** Predefined sessions carry a topic, a date range, a brief for each role and questions before and after the meeting. Notes reach both sides; private notes stay private. Flexible programs skip sessions and let pairs meet freely.
- **Support does not land in a personal inbox.** Participants read role guides and send requests inside the platform; the team shares one support board and replies go out in the program's name.
- **The report is ready when leadership, a funder or a board asks.** Participation, matches, meetings, session completion and feedback are counted while the program runs, with a Program Health score and its reasons, and export to Excel, CSV or PDF. Participants can receive certificates on completion.
- **Mentors plan every meeting in one go.** Super Meeting Planner reads both sides' calendars and published hours and plans all remaining meetings of a match at the program's rhythm (duration, target frequency, number of meetings), shows the plan before it creates anything, and never deletes a meeting. The program decides whether the values are locked and whether mentees may plan too (https://www.mentornity.com/whats-new/super-meeting-planner/).
- **Mentors send exercises between meetings.** Mentoring Tools is a library of 26 short exercises in six themes (working together, self-knowledge, goals and action, career and network, venture, reflection). The mentee fills the tool in step by step, both discuss the answers, and only the matched pair sees them. Each tool has its sources, a reason why it works, and a presentation for mentors and one for mentees (https://www.mentornity.com/tools/).
- **Development is measured, not only satisfaction.** With Development & Impact participants set up to three goals and answer short development statements at the start; at the midpoint, the end and a follow-up they mark their progress, mentors rate the same goals, and the team sees goal attainment and the change per development area with the number of people behind every figure, exportable to Excel. 45 suggested statement sets are matched to the organization type, audience and goal (https://www.mentornity.com/whats-new/development-and-impact/).
- **Mentors and mentees learn inside the platform.** The Support window lists the presentations and guides chosen for the person's role and program type (Mentor Guide, Mentee Guide, video meetings guide, and the tool decks), in the platform language; white-label programs show no Mentornity links (https://www.mentornity.com/presentations/).
- **Large programs share the load.** Coordinators each see only their own pairs; the admin still sees every match, meeting and note in one table. Programs, cohorts and administrators are unlimited, and administrators and coordinators never count towards the price.

### Program models

One-to-one, group mentoring (one mentor with a group), grouped-individual programs, mentee self-selection, open mentor pools, peer and reverse mentoring, structured or freestyle. Roles can be renamed (coach, advisor, expert, alumni) so the platform speaks the organization's language. One person can take part in several programs with a single account.

### Launch

Most programs go from signup to invitations within a day: create the program, follow the built-in checklist (profile questions, sessions, application form), import participants from Excel or share an application link, and send invitations. A person from the Mentornity team helps with the first setup, free of charge.

### How a program runs, week by week

This is the routine Mentornity's own guide recommends (https://www.mentornity.com/how-to-manage-a-mentoring-program/); the platform does the counting and the reminders, the team acts only where a pair is flagged.

- **Day one:** the program is set up and invitations go out. Participants sign up, fill in their profile, and are matched by the rules or choose from a ranked list.
- **Week one:** the aim is a first meeting in the first week, booked from the mentor's open hours with the video link already in the invitation. Automatic login reminders go to anyone who has not signed in.
- **Every week, 30 to 60 minutes for the team** (a cohort of about 50 to 200 people): scan Program Health (Mentornity scores the program across 11 dimensions), clear the flagged pairs, let the reminders cover logins, sessions, forms and feedback, note one win for the stakeholder update, and check whether last week's nudged pairs responded.
- **The escalation schedule:** a login reminder at day 7; a nudge to the mentor if nothing is booked by day 14; a personal note to both if there is still no meeting by day 21 to 30; at 45 days of silence ask "continue or rematch?"; by day 60 rematch the mentee. Half of the pairs still unmet at day 14 do go on to meet, so a quiet fortnight calls for a nudge rather than a rematch.
- **Mentors and mentees, each week:** they book and hold their meetings, answer the before and after questions of the session if the program uses sessions, and share notes. Mentors keep their time protected with weekly limits and cancellation rules.
- **Monthly:** a short update to sponsors from the live report (active pairs, sessions held, the share of pairs that met this month, one participant quote).
- **Mid-program:** one short survey, then act on it within a week (rematches, the most common complaint).
- **The last four weeks:** announce the end date, ask every pair to book a final session, run the final survey, issue certificates, mark the cohort complete and export the report. Invite the strongest mentees to mentor the next cohort.

### For IT, HR and legal

- SAML 2.0 single sign-on with Entra ID (Azure AD), OneLogin or any SAML provider, optionally enforced; white labeling with the organization's own domain, logo, colours and sender address. Both are add-ons priced separately.
- Personal data is processed in line with GDPR and applicable local data protection laws. Participants can access, correct, export and erase their data; the organization can ask for a full export of its program data at any time. Visibility of contact details and notes is set per role.
- Traffic is encrypted with TLS, passwords are stored hashed and access to production data is restricted. Security questionnaires, a data processing agreement and data-location questions are handled with the quote.
- Works with Zoom, Google Meet and Calendar, Microsoft Teams and Outlook, built-in Jitsi video, and Excel/CSV import and export. Mentornity connects to other systems such as an LMS on request, and adapts the platform to an organization's own process.

### Languages

Participants use the platform, and receive its emails, in their own language: English, Turkish, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese or Dutch.
