Mentorship
Tell us what you are working on and we connect you with someone who has already solved it. Innovation Hub coordinates every introduction, so you never have to find or cold-call an advisor yourself.
How It Works
There is no application, no queue, and no directory to browse. Innovation Hub makes the match and stays with it.
1. Tell us what you are working on
Share your venture and the specific decision in front of you. A short conversation or the contact form is enough to start.
2. We identify the right advisor
We select by expertise, stage, and availability, and check for conflicts. Sometimes the right answer is a partner organization instead, and we will say so.
3. We make the introduction
A warm introduction with context on both sides and a clear question to work on, so the first meeting is useful rather than introductory.
4. We stay with it
We follow up with both of you, keep the relationship, and adjust the match if it is not the right fit.
What mentors are here for
Mentorship is scoped to innovation-based, traded-sector ventures: businesses building a product, technology, or service that sells beyond Klamath and Lake Counties. Mentors give judgment on a specific decision, not open-ended coaching, and they hand off to a licensed professional when a question calls for one.
Business plan production, licensing, and general small business advising are delivered well by our partner organizations. If that is what you need, we will make the referral.
Current Advisors

Interested in advising?
Innovation Hub advisors are people who have built, financed, engineered, or scaled something that sells beyond this region, and who give a few hours a month to founders doing it now. We approach advisors directly and we coordinate every introduction. If you would like to be considered, tell us a little about your background and we will follow up with a conversation.
Telling us you are interested is not an application and carries no expectation of approval. It starts a conversation about the areas you would cover, how much time you have, and whether there is a fit. Innovation Hub leadership decides who joins the network, who is introduced to whom, and who is listed publicly.
What the conversation covers
- The categories and business stages you are comfortable advising on.
- Roughly how many hours a month you can give, and in what format.
- What you would rather not take on, and when you would hand off.
- Any conflicts or professional boundaries we should know about.
