New Venture Mentors
Congratulations to our 2011 DC Regional Start-Up Competition. Information regarding our 2012 competition will be posted soon.

Are you an aspiring young entrepreneur?

Or an experienced entrepreneur with knowledge to share?


New Venture Mentors is a not-for-profit business incubator and start-up funding source, for talented young entrepreneurs with no other access to capital.

Through a combination of seed funding and extensive, "hands-on" mentoring from experienced entrepreneurs, we provide talented young adults from disadvantaged or low-income backgrounds with the means to turn their business ideas into true operating enterprises.

Our ultimate aim is to build a portfolio of viable small businesses with further growth potential, and at the same time, to create a cadre of young entrepreneurs who will become role models for others in their communities.
