Mentors

Mentors play a crucial role in the success of our activities and the growth of the entrepreneurial community at the University of Haifa. A mentor’s ability to influence the development of a venture or project within their field of expertise can be the key factor between success and failure. By joining our team, you will have the opportunity to contribute to our journey toward social and environmental impact, equip entrepreneurs with professional tools at the start of their journey, and benefit from the center’s extensive connections within the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Haifa and the northern region.

We invite you and your colleagues to join our team of mentors and take part in both the venture development process and the personal growth of participants through:

• Guest lectures on topics relevant to ventures and projects in various programs
• Mentorship for student-led ventures, providing guidance and support
• Judging in venture competitions
• Guest lectures in courses on innovation and entrepreneurship

Our mentors operate on a voluntary basis, but the value is significant, offering:

• The opportunity to translate academic knowledge into practice
• Potential to join ventures as partners or Board of Directors members
• Possibility to take part in HIL’s activities, such as lecturing in courses
• Professional enrichment and networking with industry professionals
• Recognition in the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship’s publications
• The ability to create a positive social and environmental impact
