Sponsorship


We are excited about the University of Florida’s 2025 Mentor Protégé Program!

With our efforts to help create a pool of qualified small businesses that can provide products/services to meet the needs of the institution, we are building effective working relationships between mature established firms (mentors) and small businesses at different stages interested in working with UF (proteges). In addition, we have created an evolving curriculum to offer insight, knowledge, and direction from UF departments with the goal that proteges will learn how to successfully navigate the institution.

To help support our efforts in launching the 2025 UF Mentor Protege Program, we kindly request your sponsorship for this initiative. Your sponsorship supports the resources to host the program’s Kickoff Reception, monthly small business development workshops, and the end of year graduation ceremony.
