Description:
The Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center continues their Founders + Friends series with "Meet the Mentors" on Tuesday, August 25, 2026 inside the VTCRC Entrepreneur Resource Center.

Join us for Founders + Friends: "Meet the Mentors" which is an evening designed to connect founders, entrepreneurs, innovators, and mentors from across the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

This special edition of Founders + Friends is your opportunity to plug into the Entrepreneur Resource Center (ERC) network. Come discover how the ERC can support your entrepreneurial journey and meet the experienced mentors and subject matter experts who make it happen.

We believe great mentorship isn’t a rigid checklist—it’s a genuine partnership. That is why our mentorship community is entirely relationship-driven and flexible, built to easily align with your schedule and your startup’s unique needs.

Connect with mentors who are ready to serve as:
• Trustworthy Sounding Boards: Peer-to-peer advisors to help you talk through your toughest strategic roadblocks.
• Consistent Accountability Partners: Supportive guides dedicated to keeping your momentum strong and keeping you on track.

Whether you’re just exploring an early-stage business idea or actively scaling your startup, this is your chance to expand your network, ask burning questions, and connect with the exact people and resources that can move your venture forward.

Enjoy drinks, light refreshments, and meaningful conversations with fellow entrepreneurs and members of the local innovation community.
