WHO WE ARE.

Chris Heuer, the founder of Mentor Bureau, is an early internet entrepreneur who has developed network business models over the past several decades — from the local media play Virtual Community Network, to the global NGO Social Media Club, to the network agency AdHocnium, and now Mentor Bureau. Serving as one of the lead mentors in Google’s global Launchpad Accelerator, he realized smoothly accelerating startups in a way that also lifted up the founders was his true calling. He began working to figure out how to make a living doing it, working to bring more professionalism to the advisory work and more effective mentorship to startups. A true challenge in a world where all too often, startup mentorship is given freely at its relative expected value.

While the ‘micromentorpship’ provided by many accelerator programs is still valuable, the best advisory relationships are established over time, during regular ongoing engagements. Mentor Bureau is an experiment in motion, focused on trying to solve some of the larger problems of the startup game, creating a global support system for the next million entrepreneurs, enabling startups globally to find a path to #SmoothScaling.

Fortunately, Chris has been able to collaborate with some of the smartest startup founders, mentors and angels from around the world. Not necessarily the headline-grabbing CEO’s of unicorns, but the true professionals who have the wisdom and foresight to ask better questions and fully deliver on what they promise. Some of those amazing people are listed below along with current areas of expertise.
