Baron Hamelin Foundation

The Baron Hamelin Foundation, was launched by Baron Hamelin VI in 2024, and is committed to supporting the ambitions of young entrepreneurs through providing access to mentorship, networking and opportunities. As an entrepreneur himself, the Baron, who serves as the Chairman and Patron of the BHF, understands the challenges often faced by young entrepreneurs and created the Baron Hamelin Foundation to address these critical hurdles.

The BHF is built on three foundational pillars: the importance of mentorship; the effects of quality networking; and, the impact of opportunities.

Mentorship

Countless studies have been conducted on the impact of mentorship. Just as many successful entrepreneurs have been interviewed on their thoughts on the topic. The consensus is clear: mentorship has an immensely positive impact on individuals regardless of their industry, experience, or age. The Baron Hamelin Foundation connects young entrepreneurs in need of mentorship with relevant industry experts and helps to foster a lasting relationship between the two.

Networking

When done right, networking can rapidly elevate a young entrepreneur or new start-up -- the key is to do it properly. Through courses and guides, the BHF equips young entrepreneurs with the skills needed to level-up their networking. Additionally, the Baron Hamelin Foundation hosts quarterly networking events.

Opportunities

Even with the best mentor and network in the world, sometimes success still requires a little bit of luck. To help in this regard, the BHF provides three annual grants to young entrepreneurs: one for high school students, one for university students, and one for entrepreneurs in their first year of business.

As a non-profit, the Baron Hamelin Foundation is proud to provide access to all of their services and programs free of charge for young entrepreneurs.
