Great mentors do not just tell you that your idea is interesting.
They ask the questions you may be avoiding. They help you see what needs testing. They challenge the way you explain your value. They bring experience from building, advising, scaling and sometimes failing.

That is why mentorship is a core part of the Orange Grove Incubation Programme.

Across 16 weeks, selected teams get access to experienced local and international mentors who help them move from assumptions to clearer decisions.
