What you get
We run the programme. You see the results.
Most teams don't have someone spare to run a mentorship programme. You don't need one.
A good match for everyone who joins
We match on experience, goals and the support each woman asks for.
- Many members mentor and are mentored, so the pool stays balanced as it grows
- Near-peer matches with women one or two steps ahead
- 89% rate their match 4 or 5 (4.5/5 from 3,880 reviews)

A programme that grows with your community

- A dedicated customer success manager handles delivery
- Matching, reminders, training and reporting are included
The untapped asset
Your best leadership development asset is already in your organisation.
The women your rising talent needs to learn from already work alongside them, or one company over in your industry. Most of them have never been introduced.
We make those introductions, three months at a time, and run the programme for you. It costs a fraction of external coaching, and the advice comes from someone who has just done the job.
New to it? Our guide to women mentoring and mentorship explains how matching works, how mentoring differs from coaching, and the programmes we run by industry.

How it works
Built to keep mentorship from fizzling out.
Most programmes lose momentum after the first round of matches. Ours are set up so they don't.
- Data-driven matching
- AI matching on goals, experience and compatibility, with human oversight from our team.
- Three-month matches
- Short enough to stay focused. When one ends, members are rematched and their network grows.
- Matching that keeps going
- As people’s needs change, so do their matches.
- Little work for you
- You invite people. We handle matching, reminders and reporting.
