Gambit Ventures
Is an early stage business advisory firm assisting entrepreneurs in business modeling, corporate creation, and fund raising. The goal of our mentors is to assess business opportunities, their realization, and market potential, while assisting the development of these concepts with our entrepreneurial partners.
About:
Our mentors have international business development experience in a number of sectors bringing you, the entrepreneur, knowledge and credibility that new start-ups require. We mentor and develop businesses along side the entrepreneur and assist in avoiding shortfalls they might have. We bring a team of professionals and business applications to the table to support the entrepreneur and business concept. As mentors we take on only what are asked from us and don't overstep our role, with the overall understanding that the concept is not ours, it is the entrepreneurs.
How it works
Our mentors have their own companies and are entrepreneurs themselves. Each one has sector specific areas of expertise and are continuously interested in hearing new ideas. We thrive working on new projects, considering them a challenge, exciting and thrilling.

Our Mentors:
Each mentor has access to projects uploaded and make independent decisions on specific projects or entrepreneurs to work with. Most decisions in venture capital are made within the first two minutes of a pitch or the first paragraph of a concept memo. If a mentor decides to assist an entrepreneur on their business concept the mentor designates time to discussions and brainstorming sessions with the entrepreneur developing the relationship and concept. At anytime either the entrepreneur or the mentor may dissolve the relationship. Once the relationship evolves additional time, services and assistance can be given if the entrepreneur decides.
Mentors make their own decisions on billing and remuneration. Standard practice is the first month of discussions are free. This allows the mentor and entrepreneur to learn more about each other, their working styles, and each others benefits in such a working relationship. Each mentor values their time differently and pricing is determined through a direct conversation dependent on time, skill-set, and the needs of the entrepreneur.
