What is RMIT Venture Mentoring Service?

RMIT’s Venture Mentoring Service exists to support and guide high-potential RMIT staff, students, and alumni through their entrepreneurial activities with free and objective group mentoring. This mission is based on a number of key understandings:

  • An entrepreneur with a good idea and a connected team of proven mentors is more likely to succeed.
  • Mentoring works best in a conflict-free, confidential and trusted environment.
  • Team mentoring (a team of multiple mentors being paired with an entrepreneur) is a unique methodology with proven advantages vs traditional forms of mentoring.
  • A highly qualified and committed group of volunteer mentors is the key to a successful venture mentoring program.
  • Mentoring should focus on building stronger entrepreneurs (rather than businesses).
  • Formal, sustainable processes are critical for a successful mentoring program.

What makes this program unique?

RMIT’s Venture Mentoring Service is a sister program to the prestigious MIT’s Venture Mentoring Service. Unlike other mentoring programs, RMIT VMS primarily focuses on delivering value to their mentors through initiatives such as training from MIT themself and group mentoring where mentors connect to other high calibre mentors. By focusing on delivering the best experience for mentors, the program creates a virtuous cycle of value that is ultimately received by the entrepreneur.
