OUR STORY

In 2025, a group of former SCORE mentors with decades of experience decided to come together to create an organization to address the uniqueness of the Boston marketplace. 

Our mentors have come from startups, midsize organizations, and large enterprise companies to volunteer and give back to their communities by helping small businesses get started and thrive.

“I love seeing how Boston Business Mentors is empowering individuals to lean in, learn boldly, and lead on their own terms.

I’ve had the privilege of witnessing how even one strong mentor-mentee relationship can shift the trajectory of a career (or life). That’s exactly what BB Mentors is nurturing: not just progress, but transformation.

This team of mentors I know personally and can’t recommend them highly enough!! I’m so proud of you all for this new venture!

Huge shout-out to everyone involved — mentors, participants, organizers. You’re doing the kind of work that counts, and it’s inspiring. If you’re looking for a way to give back, plug in, or take that next leap in your own journey — check them out.”
