Mentor Protégé Program
This program is managed by the City’s Division of Small Business Opportunity (DSBO) and supports the City’s commitment to expanding the capacity of minority/women-owned businesses (M/WBEs).
In support of that commitment, the Citywide Mentor-Protégé program matches larger firms with M/WBEs to assist small firms in developing the necessary skills to scale their businesses and gain educational and networking opportunities directly from participating City departments and agencies.
The Commerce Hub team sets up introductions to various team members in other DEN divisions throughout the season that can assist the teams with their goals. Currently the focus is on construction, design, engineering and professional service teams. The Commerce Hub team is working on expanding the program for concessions in the 2023 season.
