Mentor Resources

Slides, recordings and reference materials from each session: reusable templates for your own team meetings, whatever cohort you're mentoring.

Session materials

Four sessions, ready to reuse

Built for the Spring 2026 cohort. Feel free to copy and adapt any of it for your own sessions.

Communications Sent to Mentors
SESSION 1

Kickoff & pairing

Mentor-team pairing, the cohort's mentoring schedule, and what to expect starting out.

SESSION 2

Assumptions

Working the Assumptions Framework, getting specific about the 2-3 things each team is betting on.

SESSION 3

Customer proof

Pushing teams to test their assumptions with real customer interviews, ahead of pitch fundamentals.

SESSION 4

Pitch & wrap-up

Final session: pitching, tied to their customer discovery, and wrapping up toward Explorer Showcase.

Evaluations are required, not optional

Complete your evaluation for each team right after your final session, via the Explorer portal (instructions here). Teams can't apply to the next cohort until it's done.

Looking further back

Older cohorts

Materials from earlier cohorts, kept for reference.
