The Vault includes people who have registered proactively as mentors, etc. as well as anyone we know. So if you reach out to someone labeled as Network without any other tags than these are people we know, but not necessarily people who registered as mentors, investors, or the other tags.
Go through the Mentors in the Vault and note the names of people you want to meet. You can filter by expertise (ie. IoT, digital health, etc.) to find relevant matches.
We’ve created a list for each of you called Contacts from Company Keywords found in your Lists drop down which is a list of Vault contacts based on your Company Keywords. Might be a good place to start!
Sign up for a Mentor Office Hours by clicking either the Book A Slot or Request Meeting button on the Mentor’s profile, depending on their preference. (For directions on how to do this, go to the Mentor Logistics section of the Alchemist Handbook.)
After you’ve completed your session with a mentor, we ask that you send a Thank You note. Please practice drafting one or create a template. Make sure to include 3 takeaways from your meeting in the note.
