Target Mentoring

What Target Mentoring does

Target Mentoring, operating as Board Partners GmbH, is a Munich-headquartered executive mentoring firm founded in 2020 by Guido Happe and Maheta Molango. It provides 1:1 mentoring for senior managing directors, C-suite executives, and first-time MDs, alongside leadership team workshops, delivered by the founders and a small delivery team. The firm reports a headcount of 1-10 employees and is bootstrapped with no external investment.

The business model is professional services: bespoke, quote-based mentoring engagements and team workshops sold into enterprise clients, with no software product, recurring SaaS component, or platform. Pricing is custom and project-based, consistent with the senior-executive buyer profile and the small number of named enterprise accounts (Alfa Laval MID Europe, DriveLock SE, KNIME AG, elg GmbH). Delivery is multilingual (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish) and conducted across offices in Munich, Mallorca, and London, serving clients in Germany, Spain, the UK, South Africa, the UAE, and Turkey.
