How to Configure Mentor Matching Settings
Learn how to configure mentor matching and allocation of hours settings in the AcceleratorApp.
Mentor Matching Settings
By default, a mentor is matched to a startup they are connected to either through a matching process, access to a one-on-one event, or by email invitation. You can choose to allow startups to book mentors they are not connected to. Matching mentors to startups allows them to book meetings with each other.
By default, startups can book an unlimited number of hours with mentors. If you’re on the Premium and Enterprise plans can limit the number of hours a startup can book.
