The purpose of the Global Mentors Club is to provide mentorship for startups, scaleups, and SMEs around the globe, including specific market expansion services, and to offer coaching and an active exchange of information and experience concerning the formation, development, and financial structuring of the companies that apply for mentoring.
World Business Angels Investment Forum, as an affiliated partner of the G20 Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion (GPFI), explores ways for players in the startup ecosystem to foster innovation and deliver more business value through partnerships between angel investors, startups, scaleups, high-growth businesses, and SMEs.
In line with this goal, the WBAF 2019 Grand Assembly decided to create a new unit, the Global Mentors Club, to support startups and to accredit qualified entrepreneurs and investors as qualified mentors. Thanks to its extensive network, WBAF is now able to offer mentorship and provide consultancy for expanding into international markets.
