Mentee statistics

Over the past 6 months, our mentoring program has blossomed; we've been able to help so many Small Businesses! Since January 2023, we've seen a 31% increase in our outreach to those in need of help. As proud of we are as our growth, we're even more proud of our chance to help all these Chicagoland Small Businesses.

Our incredibly successful mentorship program has been going strong since 2019. And, despite the lull from the pandemic, has only grown since!
