What is
Top Mentors

Top Mentors (currently in beta) is a two-month, small-group mentoring program that connects you to the best leaders in the world.

15 mentees will be selected to get guidance and support through three live, virtual sessions. Because our mentors donate their time, there's no cost to apply or attend.

Why

Mentorship is a unique way to develop your skills. Mentors help you grow as a person, via listening to challenges, offering personalized advice and giving honest feedback.

Typically, the best mentors find people to help in their network - making them difficult to access. Top Mentors make these incredible people available to anyone.

Who

Anyone can apply for one of 15 openings. Our mentors create their own applications that look for the skills and motivations where they can add the most value. There are no degree or level prerequisites.

How

Each mentor has their unique style, but three things remain consistent in all Top Mentor sessions.

First, we believe mentorship works well focused on a specific topic. We ask each mentor to specify the area where they want to help, and not offer generic career advice.

Second, we aim for intimate sessions. Each cohort has 15 people, a size that lets you be honest about the challenges you face and get real support.

Finally, all sessions are interactive, leading to more dialogue, growth and learning. 

Where + When

Mentorship sessions with Allen will be virtual, taking place from 10:00am - 11:30am PT on August 2nd, August 25th, and September 8th.

You must apply by July 26, 2021.
