MentorPool - Your first-class business plan consultant

Who we are

We’ve been there, we’ve done that.

We have been taught by life, and we have learnt a trick or two.

Some will call us retired or semi-retired, but we are seasoned executives and entrepreneurs from any and every industry.

Our wealth of knowledge, experience, skill, resources and vast network is deep and rich. MentorPool offers the services of skilled and experienced retired executives and entrepreneurs willing to share their knowledge and networks to build businesses in Kenya and across Africa. MentorPool is the home of mentorship for businesses and corporate leaders.

Experience is the best teacher, so we invite you to come to MentorPool, take advantage of these great minds and sit at their feet as they mentor you and guide your business, whether small, medium or large-scale to successes only known to a select few.

How we work

Having such a great team of experienced individuals that we work with has guided how we do things at MentorPool. For starters, we listen. With the knowledge that each business is unique, we take our time understanding them. That way, we are then able to tailor-make solutions that work effectively for every business we mentor.

So come on in, let’s have a chat and together we will design a mentorship program suited for your business. And we don’t stop there. The seasoned executives and entrepreneurs will continue to walk with you until they are confident you have a firm grasp of everything.

Our mentorship works in three ways; through the setting up of an advisory board with our experienced members sitting in; through teams of dedicated specialists, or through specialized leaders who are masters in their field.

Our Services

Performance & Operational Diagnostics

You can’t be doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. So we, at MentorPool will shake things up when need be.

Pre-receivership Management Support

It saddens us when a business goes into receivership for one reason or another. Especially when we know that some changes could have been avoided.

At MentorPool, using a global diagnostic process that’s tried and tested, just like our experienced executives and entrepreneurs, that yields accurate and undeniable data, we offer timely interventions to businesses before it is too late. Remember, we have seen it all, so by temporarily integrating ourselves into the boards of ailing businesses, we can minimize reputational damage, loss of income and disrupted livelihoods as best as possible.

Before a company drifts into receivership, MentorPool will work with lenders and investors of high repute, and offer dependable rescue plans to quickly guide you from the red into the black.

Testimonials

What they are saying about us

I wish I met MentorPool ten years ago! I would have taken a very different trajectory! As a vitreoretinal surgeon cum business owner, I have been made to think like I have never thought before.

Dr Amos Kibata

Founder & CEO City Eye Hospital

I am happy to help! I have networks that are a fertile source for young and upcoming businesses. We all know a few people that we're helping in our own way, but perhaps they need different skills to those that we possess individually, therefore the value of MentorPool.

Mentor Rick Ashley

Strategy, Fundraising and Governance Expert

The knowledge share is unmatched when we come together as experts in different areas and put our efforts into a joint project. There is much joy in giving a wholesome product to the client.
