lexusandmentoredgrant

The Lexus and Mentored Grant was established to support small businesses who are innovators within their industry and have shown their ability to remain agile and pivot within the current climate.

Designed to help small businesses across Australia take control of their journey, the Lexus and Mentored grant pairs financial support alongside invaluable mentorship to accelerate innovative ideas into working practice.

The Lexus and Mentored Grant contains $100,000 in total funds that will be awarded to four recipients in equal $25,000 increments.

Following completion of Mentored’s free ‘How to Pitch’ Masterclass, applicants are invited to submit a 60-second video pitch detailing their innovative idea.

Following a two-week submission window, 20 applicants will be contacted to provide a one-page executive business summary and details on how they plan to use the grant.

Together, Lexus and Mentored will invite 10 applicants to participate at the Lexus and Mentored Grant Pitch Night event.

Each of the final 10 applicants will be invited to pitch their business to Mark Bouris and a selection committee, with the $25,000 grants being awarded that night.

If the opportunity to take greater control of your journey is of interest, please register for the Lexus and Mentored grant below.

Thank you.
