Mentor with SCP
SCP meetups are great for networking, inspiration, and quick conversations — but real founder problems rarely get solved between a croissant and a coffee. This program is the next step: instead of one-off advice, you work with one founder across several sessions over three months.
- Format
- ~6 1:1 sessions over 3 months, cadence agreed between you and your mentee. Online or offline in Poznań — whichever you prefer.
- Capacity
- 1 or 2 mentees — whatever fits your schedule.
- Start
- autumn 2026.
Why this program exists
That continuity lets you iterate, use feedback loops, and help your mentee reach results that actually stick.
It's part of SCP's wider mission: helping founders start faster, grow smarter, and scale braver — with the people who've walked that path helping the next ones along.
Who are the mentees
Founders and aspiring founders from across the SCP community. What they share: they've raised their hand because they want to make real progress on a real problem — not collect tips. Beyond that, they vary widely — different stages (idea, pre-MVP, first customers, scaling), industries and challenges.
Their work with mentors typically sits across:
Customer & Strategy — problem validation, sales, business model, GTM, pitching
Growth & Finance — marketing, fundraising, finance, operations
Product & Technology — product, MVP, tech, AI
Team & Founder — leadership, hiring, resilience, legal
What being a mentor looks like
What you get from us
- A kick-off meeting with the full mentor cohort — goals, working principles, practical tips
- A separate intro session for (esp. but not exclusively first-time) mentors
- Peer-exchange meetings during the program
- Matching done by us, based on competence areas and working style
What we ask
Show up for the sessions, give honest feedback, and stay engaged through the three months. Pro bono — there is no payment involved.
What you get out of it
Real impact on specific people
You see what changes between session 1 and session 6 — different from giving advice at a meetup and never knowing whether it landed.
A circle of other mentors
Peer-exchange isn't a perk — it's where you find out how others are working through similar mentee problems.
Visibility and standing in the SCP community
Mentors are part of the inner circle of the program — stage invitations, networking, recognized expertise.
Early access to interesting startups
If you're also looking at the ecosystem as an investor, this is a way to see promising founders up close.
A way to try mentoring, with support
If you've never mentored before, the intro session and peer-exchange mean you're not figuring it out alone.
