About Fōkcus
Fōkcus assesses entrepreneurs to intelligently match them with business mentors. Our platform is supplemented with events called "City Highlights," which we deliberately populate with diverse entrepreneurs and mentors, making it easier for all types of entrepreneurs to meet their future selves.
Each City Highlight features one venture and approximately six mentors, including Apple Business Pros and Apple Creative Pros. Apple provides event support staff and hosts our events in the newly renovated “Town Square” retail spaces. The events take place during normal store hours in a dedicated area of the store. Each session focuses on a specific business challenge and the mentors function like an advisory board during the session. We can help with strategic, technical, creative, and operational aspects of your business.
City Highlights mentoring sessions are weekly at the Apple Store in San Diego (UTC) and Los Angeles (Century City). We're planning to expand to San Francisco in the next few months.
With access to people who have "been there, done that," you can face your toughest business challenges. Whether you are in ideation or coping with the very-good-problem of growth, we want to help.
