You’ve been through the fire – now help someone else light theirs.

BECOME A BLOCK71 MENTOR

If you’ve scaled companies, led teams, closed rounds, or crashed and rebuilt – your experience is gold to the next wave of brave founders.

At BLOCK71, we’re not looking for talking heads. We’re looking for doers — builders, operators, leaders — who aren’t afraid to challenge, guide, and grow with our startups.

Your battle scars can spark someone else’s breakthrough.

Be a mentor

Why mentor with BLOCK71?

BLOCK71 is the Home of the Brave — a launchpad for early-stage founders building ambitious, often unconventional startups across Southeast Asia and beyond.

But bravery isn’t enough. 
Founders need guidance, perspective, and someone who’s walked the path before. 
That’s where you come in.

When you mentor with BLOCK71, you’re not joining a program. 

You’re joining a mission to shape the next generation of startup leaders. 
One real conversation at a time.
