Program Highlights: 

ACANEA offers a mentorship program for Black Entrepreneurs, pairing business veterans (Mentors) with Entrepreneurs (Mentees). The Mentors  help the Black Entrepreneurs to develop entrepreneurial attitudes and skills. The relationship between Mentors and Mentees, based on free choice, mutual trust, and confidentiality, creates a space where they can step back for a moment and see things more clearly, a chance to talk frankly and exchange business experiences.
