Learn from a Leader Mentoring Program
Pasadena Angels' Learn from a Leader program is a unique and exclusive experience for entrepreneurs that brings together a world-class senior executive with a local entrepreneur. The program provides principals in emerging companies an opportunity to gain access to valuable knowledge and experience in critical areas such as sales, marketing, funding strategies, operations management and finance.
All mentors are members of the Pasadena Angels or other affiliated organizations and have substantial executive expertise as CEOs, board members, and company founders. Mentors participate by invitation only and are selected from entrepreneurs, corporate executives and senior professionals with vast experience in the Southern California business community. All mentoring is provided on a volunteer basis and is offered to entrepreneurs at no cost.
Current Learn from a Leader mentors include:
- DuWayne Peterson - Chairman Pasadena Angels and former CIO Merrill Lynch
- Bill Battison - Director Pasadena Angels and former Vice President Clear Channel Communications
- Bruce Blomstrom - Director Pasadena Angels and former VP Abbott Laboratories
- Ananth Natarajan, M.D. - CEO of Infinite Biomedical Technologies and named one of the Top 100 Innovators by Technology Review magazine
Beginning with an initial two-hour meeting, entrepreneurs learn what it takes to be an effective executive, including the practical realities of running a company, building relationships that are critical to business success, and developing personal leadership skills. Additional mentoring is provided through both one-on-one meetings with a mentor and an entrepreneur, and group activities involving other entrepreneurs from similar industries.
The Learn from a Leader program is offered through the Pasadena Angels, the preeminent catalyst for developing successful early-stage companies in Southern California. As a leading source of funding for early-stage ventures, the Pasadena Angels has a unique strength in its collection of members all of whom are leaders with demonstrated success in their respective fields.
