The SCI Venture Mentoring Service (VMS) is based on the successful model used by the renowned VMS program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The MIT VMS is tailored specifically to communities looking to bolster entrepreneurship, and we have brought their successful program back to Pensacola. Our program offers confidential, team mentoring services to entrepreneurs across our community. By pairing entrepreneurs with 3-5 experts in residence, their ventures are exposed to a variety of very skilled expertise and advice. This program is offered to entrepreneurs free of charge.
Ventures from any industry are welcome to apply. The only eligibility requirement for potential new mentees is that their business is currently earning revenue.
We are currently accepting new mentees to the program. Interested partiesmust first attend an information session in order to apply for the program. Info sessions will be held virtually on May 9th and 11th at 9am.
