What to expect

Build the Right Mentor Network

Together with Michael Gaenzler, Futury is developing a German Venture Mentoring Team from Hesse, based on an internationally recognized and evidence-based framework. This includes an ongoing mentor matching process to connect ventures with the right expertise at the right time. The network currently includes 134 active experts, with more than 50 mentors going through the interview, training and certification process.

Match Industry Expertise with Startup Needs

Mentors are selected for their experience, industry fit and ability to support startups at the right stage. Many come from leading industry positions and bring deep market, sector and regulatory expertise, especially in Healthcare, Life Sciences, Aviation, Aerospace and Finance.

Create Measurable Impact for Founders

Startups benefit from faster market validation, better access to customers and investors, and professional sparring at eye level. The goal is to build a scalable, trusted and impact-oriented mentoring system for the Rhein-Main region and beyond.

Programm Setup

Mentor Matching connects startups with experienced experts and founders who bring the right expertise, perspective and hands-on experience for your current stage and challenges.

Share Your Needs

You send us a short briefing — either your Pitch Deck or the Mentee Onboarding — so we understand who you are, what's blocking you and what kind of expertise would move the needle.

Curated Match

Our team selects the best-fit expert from our network based on your startup stage, current challenges and the mentor's relevant expertise and ability to add hands-on value.

Connect & Find Out

Mentor and mentee meet for an initial call to see if there's a personal fit. If it clicks, they move into a first sparring session together — if not, no commitment required.
