Mentor network
No one has to build alone.
Mentorship is one of the most powerful drivers of any strong innovation ecosystem.
When experienced founders, operators, and subject-matter experts share what they've learned, it shortens someone else's path and strengthens the entire community. Myrtle Beach is building an innovation ecosystem where knowledge moves quickly, doors open faster, and no one has to build alone.
Whether you are looking for guidance or ready to give it, the Mentor Network helps turn individual insight into shared momentum.
Two ways in
Find a mentor, or become one
They are separate journeys with separate forms — pick the one that fits where you are.
For founders
Find a Mentor
Tell us what you're building and where you're stuck. We read every request and look for someone in the network whose experience actually matches.
- Share your business, stage, and the help you're looking for
- eMYRge staff review the request privately
- If we find a match, we ask both people before making an introduction
For experienced operators
Become a Mentor
Share what you've learned with founders who are earlier in the journey. You set the pace — a single conversation is genuinely useful.
- Tell us your background and the areas you can help with
- You choose whether to accept any given introduction
- Your details are never published or shared without your say-so
How we handle your information
Mentor requests are reviewed privately by eMYRge staff. We never publish applicants or mentors, and we never pass on anyone's contact details without asking both people first.
Both forms are hosted on Google Forms, the same place they have always lived, so nothing in flight gets lost. We are building these into the site itself and will move them across once every field is matched and tested.
Prefer to talk first?
If you're not sure which side of this you're on, just ask. We would rather have a five-minute conversation than send you to the wrong form.
Meet the community first
1 Million Cups every week is the easiest place to meet founders and mentors in the same room, with no form at all.
