** The power of a good mentor
------------------------------------------------------------

=E2=80=9CIf you ask any successful businessperson=2C they will always have=
 had a great mentor at some point along the road.=E2=80=9D - Richard Brans=
on


Mentoring provides startup founders with guidance=2C support=2C and truste=
d insights that are often hard to come by.


Virgin StartUp has spent 10 years growing one of the largest entrepreneuri=
al mentor communities in the UK=2C and founders across the country can tak=
e advantage of this to gain valuable insights for their next business.


For first-time founders=2C navigating the complexities of running a busine=
ss can be overwhelming. The mentors in the Virgin StartUp Community are ex=
perienced founders=2C business leaders=2C and startup experts. They offer=
 wisdom=2C warn against common pitfalls=2C and provide a roadmap for succe=
ss.


According to a report by Tech Nation=2C startups with mentors are three ti=
mes more likely to succeed than those without. This is because mentors can=
 help founders refine their business models=2C improve their pitches to in=
vestors=2C and scale their operations efficiently.


Ninety percent of small businesses that receive mentoring survive for five=
 years or more=2C which is double the rate of non-mentored businesses. Sta=
rtups with mentors raise seven times more capital than those without=2C an=
d 70% of mentored businesses report an increase in business revenue.


From bookable one-on-one sessions with our expert lineup of mentors and ad=
visors for tailored advice to industry peer groups like Food and Drink=2C=
 founders in our Community are taking advantage of new opportunities to ex=
pand their networks and grow their businesses.
