The Delta Mentor Network
Last updated: 19 November 2025
1. Purpose of the Program
The Delta Mentor Network ("the Program") connects experienced founders, operators, and industry professionals ("Mentors") with early-stage founders across The Delta ecosystem.
Mentors support founders through curated introductions, Office Hours, and knowledge-sharing formats designed to provide practical, experience-led guidance. The Program is built on trust, relevance, and mutual respect.
The Delta Mentor Network consists of two distinct mentor roles, each with different expectations and benefits:
- Ecosystem Mentors
- Resident Mentors
2. Mentor Types & Definitions
Ecosystem Mentor
Ecosystem Mentors are experienced founders, operators, or advisors who support ventures across The Delta ecosystem on a flexible, opt-in basis.
Their involvement is typically remote or ad hoc and focused on curated introductions where there is a clear fit between the mentor's expertise and a founder's needs.
Ecosystem Mentors are not required to be based on campus and do not have recurring time commitments.
Resident Mentor
Resident Mentors are a curated, limited group of mentors who are actively embedded in the Delta Campus community in Berlin.
They support founders primarily through structured, on-site Office Hours and are expected to maintain a consistent presence and level of engagement with ventures building at Delta Campus.
3. Participation Requirements
A. Ecosystem Mentor Requirements
By joining the Program as an Ecosystem Mentor, mentors agree to:
- Responsiveness: Respond in a timely manner to curated introduction requests.
- Opt-in Engagement: Engage only in introductions they explicitly accept. There is no obligation to accept every request.
- Follow-through: If an introduction is accepted, communicate professionally and respectfully with the founder.
- Profile Accuracy: Keep mentoring preferences, expertise areas, and availability reasonably up to date.
Ecosystem Mentors are not required to attend Office Hours or participate in on-site activities.

By joining the Program as a Resident Mentor, mentors agree to:
- Minimum Participation: Participate in at least two (2) Office Hour days within each six (6) month period to maintain active Resident Mentor status.
