How It Works

From sign-up to your first match — in four steps.

Setting up a mentoring program on Mentora HQ is designed to take an afternoon, not a quarter. Here's the path from registering your organization to confirming your first pairings.

  1. 01

    Step 1Register your organization and make it yours

    Create your Mentora HQ account, upload your logo, set your brand color, and choose a theme. Point your custom domain at the participant portal so everything your people see feels like home.

  2. 02

    Step 2Build your first program

    Define the program's purpose, duration, and capacity. Set your matching criteria and how much each factor should weigh. Decide on enrollment limits, lifecycle stages, and whether relationships can be extended. Save it as a template to reuse later.

  3. 03

    Step 3Bring in your people

    Invite mentors and mentees one by one or import them in bulk from a CSV. Build out profiles, send the welcome emails, and let participants self-enroll — or enroll cohorts yourself in a single action.

  4. 04

    Step 4Match, confirm, and go live

    Review the pairings the matching engine suggests, check compatibility scores, and validate matches in batches. Confirm the ones that work, adjust the ones that don't, and your program is running. From there, automated notifications and reporting keep things moving while you keep watch.
