How does Mowgli Mentoring work?
• Mowgli recruit entrepreneurs and mentors for each
programme
• The mentors undertake a 4-day introductory programme. They
are joined by the mentees on the 3rd & 4th day during which
time the mentees and mentors are matched
• Mentees and mentors agree a framework by which they will
operate for the remainder of the year long programme
• Mentoring relationship commences and is supported by
Mowgli for one year
• Mowgli mentees and mentors may chose to continue the
mentoring relationship thereafter
Why are Mowgli running a pilot in the Greater
Manchester area?
• As a major business, commercial and social enterprise centre,
Manchester is home to a third of the UK’s FTSE 100 companies
and has various infrastructure in place to support the SME
community, which we believe Mowgli will compliment
