Win a Mentor!

On the initiative of the HVB Women's Council, HypoVereinsbank has launched a mentoring programme: experienced businesswomen support selected women start-up entrepreneurs on the road to founding their own company.

Eligible candidates are invited to apply for one of six mentoring places by submitting their idea and business plan or concept. The winners will be selected by a distinguished jury. The deciding factors will be the quality of the business plan or concept and the start-up idea itself. Amongst the mentors is DLD Co-Founder Steffi Czerny.

Take part in the new mentoring programme for start-up entrepreneurs, initiated by women for women. Get the support of experienced experts and businesswomen on your way to starting up your own company.  

Apply here (The closing date for applications is 8 March 2012).
 
What's in it for you?
Over the course of the mentoring programme, they will be at your side with practical tips, background information and many years of expertise to guide you in the successful launch of your enterprise. For a period of six months, you will receive support from a member of the Women's Council and a HypoVereinsbank start-up expert. Under the programme, as a start-up entrepreneur, you will benefit from the long-term practical experience of hand-picked members of the HVB Women's Council together with HypoVereinsbank's expertise. You will extend your own network and get to know other interesting women entrepreneurs and their ideas.
 
How it works
The mentoring will begin for the winners in April 2012 at the joint inaugural event with talks and practical workshops. This will be followed by meetings in person with the mentors and HVB start-up experts over the next six months. In the process, members of the HVB Women's Council will assume sponsorship of a start-up mentoring. In addition, as one of the six mentoring winners, for the duration of the programme you will take part in top level events organised by our cooperation partners, including the prestigious DLDwomen Conference in June 2012 in Munich.
