Mara Mentor, an online tool which connects entrepreneurs to business leaders and their peers, is organising a first of its kind One-on-One event that will provide an opportunity for young Nigerian entrepreneurs to pitch their business ideas to top business leaders in the country.
Mara Mentor, an initiative of Mara Foundation, will send invitations to 90 ambitious entrepreneurs (three to each mentor) who would have unique opportunity to pitch their business ideas to leading entrepreneurs who serve as Mara Mentors.
The mentors will in turn select the best pitches and entrepreneurs which they will mentor for six months.
Mara Foundation would facilitate the subsequent six-month mentorship period at time of the mentor’s convenience.
In addition, the Foundation, which is the social enterprise unit of Mara Group, will provide the mentors with further support during and after the event.
Top business leaders who have confirmed attendance include: Prof. Pat Utomi, Jimi Agbaje, Yewande Zaccheus, Chris Ubosi, Subomi Plumptyre, Lami Tumaka, and other leading Nigerian entrepreneurs from a range of sectors.
The event is scheduled for the 30th of July 2014 in Victoria Island, Lagos.
