Become a T4P Mentor!

The T4P Mentorship Program

Tech for Palestine is currently looking for mentors who will engage with project leaders from the Tech for Palestine Incubator through weekly 1:1 mentorship sessions.

The goal is to support the projects in finding product market fit and growing to make considerable impact, such as reaching tens of millions of users.

With over 50 projects in the Incubator and counting, we aim to build a whole ecosystem of pro-Palestine tech which works towards a Free Palestine.

Ideal profile

• • Have you contributed to bringing a product to life and ensured its market fit, in the areas of technology, entrepreneurship, venture building, or nonprofit innovation?
• • Do you have a strong alignment with T4P values and purpose?
• • Do you have previous mentoring, coaching, or teaching experience?
• • Do you possess excellent communication skills, and the ability to give actionable feedback with empathy?
• • Are you available to commit 5 hours+ per month per project for an extended period of time?

How it works

Once you fill out the Mentor Application, your profile will be screened and if it corresponds to our ideal profile, you will be invited to an interview with the Tech for Palestine team.

After the interview, you will become part of a database of potential mentors which project leaders will have access to. Each project leader will be able to request a mentor, in which case you will be introduced to begin your mentorship journey.

Key Responsibilities

• • Provide 1:1 or small group mentorship to assigned projects(s) on a weekly basis.
• • Keep project leaders accountable for attending mentorship sessions and making progress week over week.
• • Share expertise in areas such as: Product strategy, product development, business models, product engineering blueprints, Go-to-market, marketing, and impact measurement.
• • Guide founders in fine-tuning their product strategy and business models, organize their priorities, shape their MVPs, and iteratively develop their products.
• • Focus on asking questions, discussing assumptions, and pointing out inconsistencies, so that projects find the answers themselves, rather than telling them what to do.
• • Participate in demo days, mentor roundtables, or feedback sessions when possible.
• • Serve as a trusted advisor and role model who champions advocacy for Palestine, perseverance and commitment, creating impactful products, and taking hard decisions.
