"This toolkit is designed to help you create and run a successful mentorship program that will support and empower opensource AI entrepreneurs to develop sustainable businesses and funding models for their projects. Open source AI is a rapidly growing field that offers many opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and social impact. However, open source AI entrepreneurs also face many challenges, such as finding the right market fit, attracting customers and investors, scaling up their operations, and maintaining their code quality and community engagement. That is why we created this toolkit. It is based on a six-month pilot program done with five participants to provide you with the best practices, tools, and resources to design and implement a mentorship program that will address the specific needs and goals of open source AI entrepreneurs. This toolkit is for anyone who wants to build a mentorship program aimed at creating sustainable business and funding models for open source AI-based businesses. Whether you are an organization, a network, a community, or an individual, this toolkit will help you plan, execute, and evaluate your mentorship program." (Introduction, page 4)
