The Entrepreneur Mentoring Program (EMP), a partnership between the Clinton Foundation's Economic Opportunity Initiative (CEO) and Inc. magazine, facilitates structured, high-impact mentoring relationships between some of the nation's most successful business leaders and entrepreneurs running emerging growth companies in America's inner cities.
Over the course of the nine-month program, mentors help entrepreneurs:
- Develop a better understanding of their business and industry;
- Become better leaders and sharpen their business acumen; and
- Make better decisions about the critical issues facing their companies
EMP also works with leading universities, business and community organizations, and others to enhance the mentoring experience and maximize the program's impact on local communities. In addition, mentors and mentees will receive on-going support from EMP staff and have access to additional tools and resources. EMP will continuously evaluate the program's impact on participating businesses and local communities and encourage others to develop similar business-to-business citizen service efforts.
