title = "Mentoring Senior Entrepreneurs",
abstract = "Mentoring has traditionally been researched within the context of organisations. There is, however, growing interest in mentoring for entrepreneurship as its potential in supporting and developing entrepreneurs is increasingly recognised. The mentoring for entrepreneurship literature tends nonetheless to draw on young aspiring entrepreneurs, in particular students and recent graduates. With rates of senior entrepreneurship on the rise, this chapter conceptualises the relationship between senior entrepreneurship, the needs of senior entrepreneurs, and mentoring functions for entrepreneurship. The results, which incorporate both knowledge development and socio-emotional support functions of mentoring, are summarised in ten propositions. These propositions provide avenues for further research and insights for practice.",
