ABOUT ACE MENTORSHIP PROGRAMMES
ACE Mentorship provides several programmes for entrepreneurs to obtain feedback from experienced business leaders and successful entrepreneurs. Mentors contribute their time, expertise, advice and network on a pro-bono basis to guide mentees through one of these programmes:
BACECAMP
Intensive 8-full days structured mentoring and learning program conducted over 1 month, with 3 mentoring sessions. Mentors and Mentees are encouraged to continue after the 3 sessions to take full advantage of the relationship built during BACECAMP. Learn more about BACECAMP here.
Ad-Hoc Mentoring
Ad-Hoc Mentorship program for ACE members on request. ACE members sign-up to request for a mentor to be matched and assigned for 3 mentoring sessions.
Mentoring Speed-Dating
The programme takes the format of speed dating rounds, whereby mentors and mentees speak to each other in 15-20min timeslots. At the end of the speed dating rounds, mentors and mentee will be matched to embark on the mentorship for a period of 1 month (4 sessions).

“Mentorship is bi-directional, not only mentees gaining valuable knowledge but mentors also gaining significant insights from the startup scene. The scene only gets better when mentors and mentees come together to share what works and what not.”.

“I’m fascinated by the passion and the drive people develop to bring their ideas to life; the direct impact they can have on their environment and how this can be scaled. There are so many solutions to our problems out there, and they are being developed by the people directly affected by the issues.”

“Dear ACE Mentors, mentors provide an important sounding board that empowers the next generation of entrepreneurs to reach their fullest potential. I thank all the mentors for being a part of this network to grow the Singapore Entrepreneurship Ecosystem. Leading innovation hubs strongly believe in tapping on one another’s strengths to bring value and stay competitive as they ‘hunt as a pack’ to conquer global markets together. Likewise, I look forward to build relationships between mentors and mentees as we strive to create impact with the work we do.”

“Dear ACE Mentors, one of the greatest calling in life is to be a teacher to another. A mentor is in a way more than a teacher in the conventional sense. Because you not only instruct, but coach, nurture, and share valuable experience. Your generosity will leave a lasting impact on and even shape the future of the mentees. It is with this thought that I salute you for paying forward to develop the next generation of entrepreneurs. ACE is happy to facilitate this process and I warmly welcome all of you to the ecosystem, to the family.”
