Our Mentors

Mentors have an incredible impact on entrepreneurs. Our mentors work with start-ups on a voluntary basis sharing their knowledge, guidance and network with our teams in order to provide the most appropriate and relevant support.

It’s your chance to give back – to support the start-up ecosystem and openly share your expertise with teams you believe in.

Join us as a mentor at XPRENEURS and become part of the UnternehmerTUM ecosystem!
