Select Global Women in Tech Mentorship

Note that this form is for prospective mentors to indicate their interest in engaging in the Select Global Women in Tech mentorship platform. International companies seeking to participate as mentees should first apply to the 2021 SelectUSA Investment Summit.


SelectUSA is seeking individuals engaged in the U.S. entrepreneurial ecosystem interested in being a mentor for an international female founder as part of a six-month program. Mentors may include entrepreneurs in residence at universities, lawyers or other service providers, venture capitalists or angel investors, corporate executives, or founders of successful startups. Mentees will be vetted female entrepreneurs from overseas with specific goals related to U.S. expansion, such as raising capital in the United States, site selection, strategic communication strategies for the U.S. market, etc. Mentors will have agency in accepting or declining proposed mentee matches based on fit between the mentor’s expertise and strengths as well as mentee goals. In addition to the mentor-mentee relationship, SelectUSA will also conduct webinars and other educational programming on the U.S. expansion process for the mentee audience.

Participants are asked to commit to at least three one-on-one virtual meetings over the course of the six-month program, inclusive of the initial meeting to establish goals and expectations, at least one progress update check-in, and then a final meeting to follow up and decide on next steps. Both mentors and mentees will benefit from the one-on-one mentoring relationship as they build new skills, make new contacts, ignite new ideas, achieve their goals, reinvigorate their own work. Participants are encouraged to meet as frequently as they would like beyond the three expected meetings and there is no formal expiration date on the relationship.

We will formally launch the Select Global Women in Tech mentorship network at the virtual 2021 SelectUSA Investment Summit, June 7-11 and begin matching mentors and mentees then.

If you are interested in participating as a mentor, please indicate your interest by filling out this form. We will be in touch in late spring 2021 to formalize all participation and in preparation for the kickoff event at the Investment Summit in June.
