In case you’re not familiar with [CITY] Startup Week, we’re organizing a free five-day, entrepreneur-lead, community-focused, volunteer-run event in [MONTH, YEAR] that will bring entrepreneurs in our community together to celebrate their achievements and make valuable connections. Over the course of this week, attendees of [CITY] Startup Week can choose the events they’d like to attend. To make things interesting, we hold our events at several venues across [CITY]. Speakers from the community, and outside it, are invited to share their stories to educate, motivate, and inspire the entrepreneurial community. On top of that, we select tracks (themes) we feel are most relevant to our community and choose speakers based on those tracks.
We find that attendees feel more connected to their community through attending events during the week, and these community-focused events which help build support structures can be the difference between giving up or pushing through to success. As we’re a volunteer-run organization, and do everything we can to make sure our events are free for all attendees, it’s vital we have the support of local businesses like yours who wish to connect with our attendees. It’s a great way to get your name in front of our audience, as well as show your support towards making [CITY] a connected, thriving community.
A few quick facts:
We expect to attract [NUMBER] attendees.
Many attendees tend to be highly-engaged, educated, and passionate entrepreneurs.
Sponsors have the opportunity to [ADD BENEFITS].
We’d love to have your support in this effort. Please take a look at our [sponsorship deck] for sponsorship options and additional details regarding our sponsorship goals. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the opportunity further, I can be reached at [EMAIL ADDRESS].
I’m excited to fill you in on all the exciting things we have planned. We hope you’re able to join us in this truly wonderful week-long celebration of the [CITY] startup community!
Thank you for considering, and we hope to hear from you!
Best, [NAME] Techstars Startup Week [CITY] team

Hi [NAME],
I am coordinating this year's [CITY] Startup Week mentorship programming and would love for you to be one of our mentors for the event.
In case you’re not familiar with [CITY] Startup Week, we’re organizing a free five-day, entrepreneur-lead, community-focused, volunteer-run event in [month, year] that will bring entrepreneurs in our community together to celebrate their achievements and make valuable connections. Over the course of this week, attendees of [CITY] Startup Week can choose the events they’d like to attend. To make things interesting, we hold our events at several venues across [CITY]. Speakers from the community, and outside it, are invited to share their stories to educate, motivate, and inspire the entrepreneurial community. On top of that, we select tracks (themes) we feel are most relevant to our community and choose speakers based on those tracks.
The mentorship program is a volunteer program as part of [CITY] Startup Week. Aside from the mentor program, there are many other sessions ranging from panel discussions and lectures to workshops happening throughout the week of the event. Mentors and the organizing team members are all volunteers who are doing this to contribute to the local startup community.
Here are the details of the mentor sessions:
We’re asking for two hours of your time to meet with Startup Week mentees during the hours of [time] on any day of your choice during the week of [DATE] to [DATE].
The sessions will take place at [BASECAMP LOCATION ADDRESS].
Each mentor session will be around [25 MIN] (up to four one-on-one sessions total).
When mentees register for mentor sessions, they will provide a brief description of the topic that they want to discuss which we will share with you ahead of time.
Given your deep experience and knowledge in the startup world, we would be grateful to have you on board. Learn more about [CITY STARTUP WEEK - ADD LINK TO YOUR WEBSITE].
I look forward to hearing from you.

Mentors confirmation email
Subject: Your mentor schedule and information for Techstars Startup Week [CITY]
Hi [NAME],
Thank you again for volunteering to be a mentor at [CITY] Startup Week!
I have scheduled your mentoring slot for [FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26TH] at [10:00 AM to 12:00 PM]. When you arrive, please sign in at the registration desk and our mentor volunteer will show you to your designated meeting space.
Each session will be [25 MINS] long, with 5 minutes in-between sessions.
The sessions: The mentees will send me the topic they want to discuss with the mentors when they register and I will then forward the information to the mentors prior to the mentor sessions. It may be that we don’t have all four of your mentor sessions booked in advance. We ask that you remain at your designated meeting space in case we have any last minute signups at the registration desk.
We will have mentor volunteers in the space who will make sure that it remains a safe and positive experience for mentors as well as mentees.
We don’t expect you to have the answers to everything. We simply ask you to guide and listen with empathy and inclusivity, and help mentees ask the right questions. Constructive feedback and encouragement are both important to the process, as is sharing expertise from personal experiences with a consultant mindset.
A request: Please send me a headshot, your twitter handle or LinkedIn profile link, and a short bio (one paragraph which includes your area(s) of specialty) which I will include on our event website [LINK TO EVENT WEBSITE].
Please let me know if you have any questions at all.
Thanks again [NAME]!
