Mentorvet

What Mentorvet does

MentorVet, LLC is a US-based, 100% virtual professional development company that delivers evidence-based mentorship programs to veterinary professionals, founded in 2021 by Dr. Addie Reinhard, DVM, MS, and headquartered under Kentucky governing law. The company operates five interconnected product lines: MentorVet Leap (a six-month structured program for early-career veterinarians priced at $799–$1,099 per participant, including online learning modules, financial and mental health coaching, mentor pairing, and 10 RACE-approved CE credits); MentorVet Tech (a parallel track for veterinary technicians); MentorVet Lead (mid-career veterinarians, including a specialized offering for ACVIM new Diplomates); MentorVet Lift (a mentor certificate program); and MentorVet Connect (an online platform pairing mentees with trained volunteer mentors). Underlying technology is conventional — a Squarespace-hosted website, an LMS-style learning portal, a mentor-mentee matching platform, and video-conferencing-based peer group facilitation — with RACE continuing-education accreditation as a regulatory asset.

The business model combines direct individual enrollment at program-level list pricing with a multi-tier corporate sponsorship structure that funds scholarships and program development. Founding sponsor Merck Animal Health anchors the credibility and funding base; Chewy Health serves as a Diamond sponsor funding the Chewy Health Scholarships, Equine Vet Scholarships, and the ACVIM new Diplomates program; and an additional network of Diamond, Gold, and Silver sponsors plus over 30 partner organizations (NAVC, VCA, Banfield, NVD, Covetrus, AVMA, ACVIM, state VMAs, and practice groups) amplifies distribution and underwrites accessibility. The customer base spans approximately 500 Leap alumni since founding and close to 800 mentors/mentees active on the Connect platform, with the company reporting meaningful improvements in burnout measures for participants versus control groups in an internal study.
