The review focuses on a number of comparative mentoring programmes, drawing conclusions on the suitability of mentoring for creative entrepreneurs and providing guidance on a methodology of best practice in mentoring.

The two pilot programmes were developed by NESTA to match growth companies within sub-sectors of the creative industries (TV production, advertising, digital media and games) with senior executives from these sub-sectors in mentoring relationships. The two pilots aim to generate benefit for participating businesses through an intensive and direct relationship with mentors, who have intimate knowledge of their sectors and track records in building successful creative businesses.
