Abstract :ABSTRACT In recent years, particularly, the importance of entrepreneurship to the nation\`s economies has increased significantly. SMEs, or small and medium-sized enterprises, are vital sources of employment and national income. Because of this, it\`s critical to create effective support systems to promote entrepreneurship and increase it\`s influence on the economy of the nation. One of these support mechanisms is mentoring described as directing novice entrepreneurs to success in business processes. In this paper, we aimed to investigate all aspects of mentoring in the ecosystem from the program structures to mentor-mentee match making. A new concept of technical mentoring is risen from the need of deep technology startup founders\` need of support for solving the technical difficulties they face regularly. Also, a mentoring model for technology incubators is proposed with all its dynamics. In conclusion, it can be stated that mentoring has highly flexible nature in the entrepreneurship ecosystem.Keywords : Mentorluk, Girişimcilik, Teknik Mentorluk, Menti Mentor Eşleştirmesi, Mentorluk Programları
