Anyone anywhere can use Mara Mentor – Manager

Douglas Imaralu, online community manager for Nigeria at Mara Foundation has said the platform could be accessed by anyone anywhere. According to him, the Mara Mentor Project aims to enable, empower and inspire a generation of entrepreneurs.

“Anyone anywhere can use Mara Mentor. It is an open resource and it is available on web and mobile applications,” Imaralu told HumanIPO.

“It offers free training tools and access to top Nigerian business leaders who act as mentors on the platform and participate in forums specifically tailored to provide the necessary skills and business acumen young Nigerians need to become self-sufficient entrepreneurs and job creators.”

He said Mara Mentor offers young entrepreneurs access to the necessary skills and competence they need to succeed in business.

“Mentors on the Mara Mentor entrepreneurship community invest their time and expertise to shape and optimize the business ideas of young entrepreneurs thereby helping them to fulfill their potential. They also encourage mentees to network among themselves in line with Mara Mentor’s philosophy, which encourages idea exchange and a collaborative approach to business.  Via forums and discussions on the web and mobile app platforms mentees can connect, converse and exchanges ideas with leading entrepreneurs in Nigeria,” he said.

In the startup ecosystem in Nigeria, he said the Mara Mentor project is neither an incubator nor an accelerator; he said it is a supporter of entrepreneurship at any stage.

“We understand that there are incubators and accelerators already in Nigeria and we just fill the void as an online community where entrepreneurs can meet, share ideas and network,” he said.

Mara Mentor can be accessed primarily through the mobile app and web platform.

He said, “The Mara Mentor app can be downloaded on Apple, Android, Blackberry and Nokia stores. You also can also access Mara Mentor via web on www.mentor.mara.com. The offline platform is what we have with Mara Mentor One-on-One.”
