Mentorship Hub
Welcome to the Thinkingsme Mentorship Hub, where knowledge is shared, guidance is given freely, and no entrepreneur walks alone.
At ThinkingSME, mentorship isn’t a buzzword – it’s a bridge. A bridge between lessons learned and lessons lived. Between those just starting and those who’ve weathered the storms. And between isolation and real, meaningful connection.
Find or be a Mentor
At ThinkingSME, we connect local SMEs and SAFFAs abroad through a powerful exchange of insight, experience, and support.
Why It Matters
SMEs don’t just need advice —they need context. Our mentorship model is built for the real challenges business owners face.
How it Works
Browse profiles, or get matched by interest, industry, or region. OR Set your availability, list topics and start connecting.
It’s about support.
If you’ve built something, survived something, or solved something, you’ve got value to share; Let's back other SMEs together.
Where Mentorship Meets Momentum
At ThinkingSME, mentorship isn’t a buzzword – it’s a bridge. A bridge between lessons learned and lessons lived. Between those just starting and those who’ve weathered the storms. And between isolation and real, meaningful connection.
- Community-rooted, South African-grown guidance
- Mentors who’ve walked the same path — not just read about it
- Real stories, shared knowledge, and no ivory towers
- A growing pool of diaspora mentors (SAFFAs) ready to give back
“Mentorship isn’t just about advice — it’s about being seen, heard, and understood by someone who’s walked the same road. ”
Mentorship Made Simple.

Anyone who’s been through the ups and downs of business and wants to give back. Whether you’re a founder, freelancer, or operator — your experience matters. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about offering real perspective.
Nope. Mentorship on ThinkingSME is completely free. It’s driven by community, trust, and the spirit of helping fellow SMEs succeed.
That’s okay. Connections take time. If your match isn’t right, you can try again — or reach out to our team for help finding someone who fits.
Definitely. Many members give support in one area and receive it in another. It’s all about learning, sharing, and growing together.
