We launched the Mentorpreneurship programme in August 2021. Since then, we’ve gone on to run a diverse mix of events, a podcast, and audio series making a tangible impact on thousands of students, schools and professionals.
Preparing the entrepreneurs of the future is at the heart of the Mentorpreneurship programme. It sets out to increase students’ confidence through immersive interactive events that encourage mentees to develop their own business mindsets, as well as exposing them to inspiring mentors with a wealth of knowledge to pass on.
We don’t believe in ‘top down’ mentorship, but that everyone has something to contribute and something to learn regardless of their background. We truly believe that the key to being a successful entrepreneur is in the connection with others who build that journey next to you.
Many of the great resources that are part of the Mentorpreneurship programme can be accessed on the app.
On the app, students can connect and chat with fellow LSE alumni as well as find mentors based on their interests and expertise – making it easy to build lasting connections and stay in touch. And within the LSE Generator app it’s also easy to find the details of upcoming events and access resources and inspirational content.
Mentorpreneurship benefits all participants – whether they’re receiving excellent mentoring to navigate new professional experiences, or passing on knowledge to the next generation and developing their leadership and communication skills.

Later this summer we’ll be launching our Mentorship Certificate, which will provide individuals and organisations with insight and training on the values of mentorship and the tools to make it a success.
We’ll be inviting companies to participate in this initiative by working with us to extend the values of mentorship among their employees. Mentorship has been seen to enhance employee engagement, increase work satisfaction and contribute to organisational collegiality and the development of applicable skill sets.
