Company mission

We believe the right connection can change your life. At Mentorloop, we're making quality mentoring more accessible - we're driven to deliver the benefits of mentoring to anyone who seeks them. We realised early that if we wanted to properly execute on this idea, we couldn't just rely on having a good purpose - we needed to find a way to build a profitable, sustainable business too. That's why we're proud to be a certified B Corporation, building a business that's a force for good in the world.

Our take

Mentorloop was started to make great mentoring relationships more accessible, effective, and available at scale. Its cloud-based software platform helps remove the admin burden organisations face when coordinating a mentoring program.

Mentorloop's platform does this with instant onboarding, smart matching, automated content tracks, real-time reporting, and live communication channels, all while ensuring a more engaging and productive experience for mentors and mentees alike. This makes mentoring engaging and effortless for universities, NFPs, corporates, and governments.

The Mentorloop mentoring flywheel ensures that your mentoring program keeps on improving with time as you add more participants, creating a culture of ‘always-on’ mentoring. The program is based on the foundations of Match, Momentum, and Measure. It supports mentees through milestones, gradually turning them into mentors as they progress.

Effective mentoring boosts retention rates 69% for mentors and 72% for mentees in mentoring programs, and boosts managerial productivity by 88%. As a team of mentoring evangelists, Mentorloop is committed to bringing the humanity back into organisations and human relationships.
