We are recruiting mentors to serve as Mock Investor Panelists for the currently running Miller Center Accelerator ending in June 2024. The two-part panel sessions will take place over zoom on May 20, 21, 22, 23 and again on June 17, 18, 20, 21 at either 7:30-8:30 AM, 8:45-9:45 AM, or 7:00-8:00 PM. Note: If you sign up for a May panel session, you are also committing to participate in that enterprise’s corresponding June panel session.

The May panels will simulate an introductory meeting with an impact investor. The June panels will simulate a due diligence meeting. During these sessions, panelists will role-play as impact investors by asking clarifying questions, challenging the entrepreneur’s assumptions and testing their knowledge of their business. We will have a training session on May 9 at 8:00 AM and it will be recorded and shared if you’re unable to attend. Once you sign up, we will send you a form where you can select specific panel session date(s)/time(s) depending on your availability.

Dates: 

• May 20-23 for 1st panel sessions & June 17-21 for 2nd panel sessions

Time Commitment:  

• 1-3 hours of prep work per social enterprise; includes two panels per social enterprise in May & June
