As educators and industry leaders, it’s our mission to equip our students with the skills and knowledge to succeed in the future. MentorKart is a career-tech platform that seeks to bridge the gap between untapped talent and promising employment opportunities. Recently, the company has raised $250,000 in a funding round led by Realtime (RTAF), a SEBI registered angel fund based in India and Tie Angel India, a global network of angel investors.
MentorKart’s platform enables companies to source, screen, and skill/develop candidates for roles across functions. The startup offers a range of initiatives to prepare the youth of today for the workforce of tomorrow, including active learning programs, job guarantee programs, goal-based mentorships and 1:1 mentorship by the top 1%. The company also incorporates Generative AI technology into its platform to facilitate acquisition, engagement, and monetization.
MentorKart has successfully onboarded over 100+ partners in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities across various states, with plans to expand this number to 500+ in the near future. This is part of the company’s mission to empower local talent and drive regional development. Furthermore, MentorKart has nurtured a robust network of mentors, offering users invaluable guidance and support.
The Chair of TIA, Mahavir Pratap Sharma, is highly optimistic about TIA’s investment in MentorKart, citing the company’s product-centric growth strategy and commitment to directly facilitate employment for over 5,000+ young individuals in the coming months. Pranay Mathur, Partner & CEO of Realtime (RTAF), believes that MentorKart’s dual-focus approach will propel the startup to tremendous heights, creating a more job-ready generation and bridging the industry-academia gap.
With this round of funding, MentorKart plans to expand its customer base and extend its outreach to aspiring professionals in Tier 2/3 cities. To date, the company has received $500K in funding from Realtime (RTAF), Lets Venture, Startup Buddy, and others.
