AI & Mentorship: A Workshop to Identify Your Business's Next Steps
Part of Twin Cities Startup Week 2026, September 14–18.
What happens when decades of startup mentoring experience meet AI?
MESA mentors Jeff Eckerle and Tim Bates lead a hands-on workshop where you'll apply an AI mentoring framework to your own business, built by the MESA Mentor Group. Rather than relying on generic advice, you'll work through a model informed by the patterns our experienced mentors use to identify what a business should focus on next.
Pre-work: To get the most out of this workshop, come prepared with your pitch deck or other materials describing your business. You'll use them to apply the mentoring framework during the session.
Facilitated by mentors @ MESA Group:
