Mentor coordination is somebody's evening job
Matching happens by hand, tracking happens by email, and all of it sits on top of a full workload. When that person moves on, the relationships and institutional knowledge go with them.
MENTORSHIP-AS-A-SERVICE FOR CDFIs
Give your borrowers business mentorship they actually use.
Micromentor is the mentorship platform development banks and loan funds run alongside lending: mentors from 120+ countries, program support handled by us, and outcome reporting your funders can use.
Built for CDFIs and loan fundsNo added program staff
Built for CDFIs and loan funds of every shape: the ones whose technical assistance gets borrowers loan-ready and stops there; the ones who lend without a coaching arm at all; and the ones already running a volunteer mentor network by hand.
THE LENDING GAP
Sound familiar?
After the loan, the only signal is whether payment cleared
The relationship narrows to payments, statements, and compliance. Nobody owns the business questions that determine what happens next.
You refer them out, then never learn what happened
When the question is not about lending or cash flow it goes elsewhere. There is rarely a coordinated hand-off, and almost never a record of whether the borrower got help.
HOW IT WORKSSTEP 01 STEP 02 STEP 03
A mentorship layer that fits the lending you already do.
Your lending system stays yours. We add the mentoring infrastructure, global community, delivery support, and reporting around it.
Plug in
We build around your borrower cohorts, intake, branding, and goals. It sits on top of your loan-management system and CRM, so your program does not bend around a vendor.
Match
Borrowers connect with experienced mentors searchable by industry, expertise, region, gender, and language. Our team supports the relationships that stall.
Report
Thirty-plus engagement and outcome metrics by program or cohort take reporting from anecdotal to documented - in the format your funders care about.
See a real program, not another spreadsheet.
Matching, participation, and progress live in one shared view - so your team has a clear picture without chasing updates across email.

“A development bank ran Micromentor alongside its lending to women-led SMEs across four countries: 4,000+ entrepreneurs, 1,400+ mentors, white-label in the local language, and no added program staff.
“Natalie Johnson's 13-person Florida firm lost 40 to 45% of its business within weeks. Her mentor helped navigate a rebuild; the firm is profitable again and the team stayed intact.
WHY US
Eighteen years of mentorship, backing your loan program.
Micromentor launched with a simple bet: entrepreneurs do better with a mentor in their corner. In 2025 alone the platform served 15,238 entrepreneurs across 185 countries, with mentors volunteering from 120+ countries.
Lenders keep telling us the same thing: capital gets a business started, but the questions that decide whether it survives come later. That is the stretch we cover.

QUESTIONS WE HEAR A LOT
Good questions before a short demo.
How do we know the mentors are any good?
They are experienced entrepreneurs and business professionals across finance, operations, marketing, legal, supply chain, and digital. Entrepreneurs rate their mentoring experience, and our team stays involved when a relationship needs attention.
We already run a mentor network.
This is an extension, not a replacement. Your advisors and relationships stay; the platform takes on coordination and reporting. Where your roster does not reach, ours does.
Our team has no capacity for another program.
That is the point: matching, support, and reporting sit with us, so your team is not asked to build an operating layer from scratch.
Will this improve repayment?
We do not make that claim. Structured mentorship after closing offers earlier visibility into how a business is doing and a reason for borrowers to stay connected.
Do you replace our loan management system?
No. We sit on top of it. Mentorship happens before and after the loan, never inside underwriting, and we do not touch your credit workflow.
How fast can we launch?
Once a contract is signed, our team can stand up an initiative within two to four weeks, depending on scope.
START A CONVERSATION
Worth a short demo?
Bring one cohort of borrowers and your funder's reporting template. If it is not a fit, you will know by the end of the call.
We reply within one business day, usually with a couple of times for a short call.
