Shaped by the work you do every day.
Innovative Mentoring began with a practical need: mentoring programs deserved a better way to manage the processes, data, and daily operations that support their mission.
Built for mentoring from the beginning.
- 2001
Innovative Mentoring Software was founded in Minnesota by software engineers who were also mentors.
- Built with customers
The product developed around the workflows mentoring organizations manage every day and continued evolving in response to customer needs.
- 2024
Innovative Mentoring became a division of Orphan Software, a technology-focused holding company.
- Today
The product continues to serve youth mentoring organizations with program-management and reporting tools designed for their work.
Listen closely. Solve practical problems. Keep improving.
Mentoring programs differ in size, structure, terminology, and funding requirements.
Innovative Mentoring is designed to adapt through configurable fields, forms, programs, and reporting while keeping the core experience approachable for staff.
