NextGEN Venture Mentoring Service

VMS brings founders the power of seasoned, structured mentorship when you're past the early stages and navigating real business challenges. Built on the MIT Venture Mentoring Service model and tailored to the Greenville ecosystem, this program pairs founder teams with experienced mentor groups who meet regularly to tackle strategic decisions, refine growth plans, and offer practical, unbiased advice based on real-world experience. Over time founders work with mentor teams in a confidential setting that feels less like a classroom and more like a trusted advisory board, helping you solve problems, validate choices, and strengthen your confidence as you scale. Since launching, VMS has supported dozens of founders and contributed meaningfully to revenue growth and job creation in the region, all while connecting you deeply into a mentor-rich community that keeps you moving forward.
