Mentornity is startup mentoring software for incubators, accelerators and entrepreneurship centers, covering the mentoring side of incubator and accelerator management. It holds your mentor pool, lets founders book mentoring meetings, matches mentors to startups and tracks every meeting per startup. Its AI agent, Mentornity AI, does the coordination for the program team and waits for approval at each step; mentors and startups book meetings from Claude or ChatGPT.

Where startup mentoring gets stuck

  • Scheduling mentors takes too long

    Mentors open their slots once and founders book, with no email chains.

  • You can’t see who met whom

    See which startups have met a mentor and which have not, before the program ends.

  • Every program starts from zero

    Copy your last program with its sessions, rules and forms, and start the next one.

Everything a startup mentoring program needs

The whole founding team, together

Reports for sponsors and funders

Frequently asked questions

What is startup mentoring software?

It is a platform incubators and accelerators use to manage their mentor pool, the meetings between founders and mentors, and the program’s reports. On Mentornity, mentors open their free hours, founders book them, and you follow every startup’s meetings from one panel.

How do accelerators use Mentornity?

They keep a mentor pool, match a mentor to each startup and let founders book extra meetings. Every meeting is tracked per startup. When the program ends, they export reports and copy it for the next round.

Is Mentornity incubator or accelerator management software?

It covers the mentoring side of managing an incubator or accelerator: application forms for startups and mentors, the mentor pool, matching mentors to startups, founder bookings and reports per startup for sponsors and funders. Each new program can start from a copy of the last one.

Can a startup be mentored as a team?

Yes. Each startup is a group. The whole founding team is matched with the mentor, gets the invitations and shares the meeting history.

How do founders book mentors?

Mentors publish slots, one-off or weekly, up to about two months ahead. A founder books a slot, the video link is created and both calendars are updated. Weekly limits and minimum notice stop overbooking.

Can we control which startups meet which mentors?

Yes, with tags. Tag startups by sector, stage or program, then set which tags each mentor accepts. For example, only fintech startups can book fintech mentors.

Do mentors need another account and password?

No password to remember. They sign in with Google, Microsoft or a one-time link. Most set up their profile and open times in a few minutes.

What does it cost for an incubator?

Free for up to 10 users. Above that one monthly price for 50 active participants, shown in your own currency on the pricing page. No setup fee. Many incubators start free with a small pilot.
