Development of an Integrated Mentorship and Business Collaboration Platform for Non-Profit Entrepreneur Support

The organization faces difficulties in streamlining communication and collaboration between mentors and entrepreneurs, managing project milestones, and fostering active community engagement. There is a need for a specialized digital platform that facilitates efficient interactions, task management, and knowledge sharing within a community of emerging entrepreneurs and experienced mentors.

A non-profit organization dedicated to supporting aspiring entrepreneurs within specialized communities, such as military veterans and service members, by providing mentorship, training, and business development resources.

• Implement a sophisticated user matching algorithm to connect entrepreneurs with suitable mentors based on their business ideas and interests.
• Develop task and milestone management features to enable mentors to assign, track, and oversee business development activities.
• Incorporate real-time communication channels, including online chat supported by automated system notifications and chatbots.
• Enable community engagement through the creation of private and public events and knowledge sharing via a centralized knowledge base.
• Ensure the platform supports continuous delivery and scalable architecture for increasing user adoption and activity.
