What Makes BBM Different
At Boston Business Mentors, we believe great mentoring starts with the right match. That’s why a real person reviews your needs and hand-selects a mentor with relevant experience.
No assignments or algorithms used.
Personally Matched
We hand-pick your mentor based on your industry, stage, and specific challenge.
We don’t assign you whoever’s available.
If the first match isn’t perfect, we’ll keep looking.
Proactive & Responsive
We reach out via text, email, or phone—whatever you prefer.
We don’t use automated replies.
We’ll follow up to ensure you connect with an ideal mentor.
Flexible & Adaptive
We tailor our approach to your needs.
We don’t force our clients into standardized processes.
From communication style to meeting format, it’s about what works best for you.
Boston Business Mentors was founded with a clear mission:
provide personalized, expert business mentoring that’s responsive, flexible, focused on results, and always free.

My mentor was incredibly helpful and provided valuable guidance on where and how to begin. Her insights gave me a clear sense of direction and boosted my confidence. It wasn’t just advice, it it felt like true support from someone who genuinely cares about your success.

The mentor assigned to me was extremely helpful, even with the one meeting we have had so far. In addition, the business course I took explained very well the different tasks I need to accomplish in order to create a, hopefully, successful small business.
