Empowering Leaders

 

Unlock your potential with TAG Connect Mentorship: Empowering Leaders—a transformative program designed to bridge the gap between Seed and Series A tech entrepreneurs and seasoned corporate vendor relations professionals.

 

Our mission is to cultivate leadership, enhance communication skills, and provide the strategic support needed for entrepreneurs to provide tech software or hardware services effectively.

The Problem

  • Only 37% of employees currently have mentors, leaving a significant gap in mentorship opportunities.

 

Our Solution

  • Research shows that mentoring relationships can significantly enhance leadership skills, employee engagement, and organizational loyalty.

 

 

Program Testimonials

  • “I continue to enjoy how great of a match these gentleman are and that we are able to learn from each other with the experiences that we share.” Jerome Miller-Whyte, 2024 Mentor
  • “(My mentor) was able to pin point a gap I have and point me to the right direction by sharing what had helped her when she was going through the same challenge when moving from individual contributor role to a leadership one.” Eunice Kossegnon, 2024 Mentee

 

About the Program

Tech entrepreneurs often face challenges in communicating their value proposition within the corporate world, due to limited experience with soft skills and cultural nuances. TAG Connect Mentorship addresses this by pairing ambitious entrepreneurs with corporate leaders who offer guidance, feedback, and expertise tailored to their growth journey.

 

Our mentorship exclusively supports innovative tech entrepreneurs who are poised to scale their businesses and have the capacity to honor contracts, ensuring that they’re ready for the demands of corporate partnerships.

Program Overview

  • Each mentor-mentee pairing is carefully matched through our mentorship platform, ensuring alignment of products, services, and business models.
  • Mentors provide insights on how to effectively secure vendor contracts with their own organizations or other companies, equipping entrepreneurs with practical strategies to unlock opportunities.
  • Over the course of a one-year partnership, mentor and mentee will meet 3-4 times a year through virtual sessions, in-person meetings, or a combination of both.

 

 

Empower yourself to lead with confidence and clarity.
