Goethe University Frankfurt

In cooperation with the Alumni Organization of Economic Scientists (FWWG), Mentor Lane organized a mentoring program in which 25 economics students were matched with 25 alumni mentors.
What makes Mentor Lane special is that they take the time to understand what the goals and needs are, and also take the necessary time for the matching process. It is remarkable how much passion and commitment are demonstrated here. We have always received the support we needed. Additionally, proactive support has always been offered to us. I look forward to collaborating with Mentor Lane and to many more successful mentoring tandems.
Over the years, I have referred several employees to Mentor Lane to connect them with the right external mentor. The experiences of my mentees so far, and especially the quality of the mentors, have been truly phenomenal. Currently, we are working together on developing a company-wide mentoring program for our employees. What I particularly appreciate about the Mentor Lane team is their humanity: they are flexible, empathetic, and go the extra mile for us.
From the beginning, we had great respect for the task of developing our own mentoring program. However, we were determined to stick to the idea of promoting selected talents and wanted to give the individual matching of mentors and mentees a chance—no matter how demanding it would become. When we were made aware of Mentor Lane, we were glad for the direct support we received. Because, as simple as mentoring sounds, it is not. Often, the administrative effort and personal empathy required are underestimated. Especially if you want to approach it correctly, you should seek the necessary expertise. We were definitely more than grateful for the collaboration with Mentor Lane and would recommend them unreservedly to any organization.
Collaboration with mentors is crucial and should be part of every business plan. Through Mentor Lane, we are connected with mentors, and the knowledge and wisdom shared with us have been invaluable. The great thing is that the mentors do it not for the money (which isn’t even allowed!) but because they want to help young, less experienced entrepreneurs on their path to success. Thank you for making this possible, Colin and Mentor Lane!
Many thanks to Mentor Lane for the consultation and design of a new mentoring program for a group of students and alumni. Mentor Lane assisted us with the planning, conducted the mentoring training for mentors and mentees, and provided mentors. THANK YOU very much to Mentor Lane for the helpful advice and guidance on effective mentoring.
