Our Mission & Values 

MISSION

Minneapolis Business Mentors volunteers are a diverse team of individuals brought together by the mission to advise and support entrepreneurs and small business owners with skills, experiences, knowledge, talents and abilities to help them start, guide and grow their businesses.

To achieve our mission, we provide our services at low or no cost to clients. Our team members are driven by their desire to give back to the Minnesota business community by helping anyone who requests our services. Our goal is to help them succeed in their business ventures.

​

As a 5013c non-profit, we are financially sustained by the funds some of our services provide and by sponsors who align with our mission and goals and donate to support our organizations’ work.

We partner with individuals and organizations who support our mission and are willing to volunteer their time and talents to help our organization succeed. We do not accept payment, affiliated income, or other in-kind services.
