The business mentoring market is experiencing an expansion phase in Brazil, driven by digitalization, the increase in entrepreneurship and the search for strategic guidance for growing companies.
Despite progress, the segment is still marked by low standardization, lack of institutional certification, dependence on the mentors’ personal brand and little formal governance, which creates information asymmetry and insecurity for those who hire these services.
It is in this scenario that Mentor Capital Group (MCG) emerges, a holding company created by Janguiê Diniz to function as a private institutional infrastructure for the sector.
Established as a closed public limited company, MCG was created with corporate governance in place, formal auditing and a future public offering (IPO) thesis, with a focus on connecting mentors, advisors, investors and high-performance entrepreneurs within an ecosystem with clear entry criteria and a long-term vision.
At the center of the thesis is the Mentor Capital Standard (MCS), a proprietary certification system that classifies mentors into levels of institutional maturity — Core, Elite, Sovereign and Apex, in addition to the Affiliated, preparatory category — based on objective indicators such as revenue, growth, operating margin, NPS, governance and auditable cases.
Distribution is limited at the top: up to 5% of members can be in Apex, 15% in Sovereign, 30% in Elite and 50% in Core, preserving strategic density and quality barriers within the ecosystem.

The holding also developed the 4E Growth Framework, a proprietary and auditable methodology that guides the transformation of mentoring businesses dependent on the figure of the founder into more predictable and scalable companies.
The method operates on four axes — Elevation, Engine, Execution and Expansion — and ranges from strategic positioning and structuring recurring revenue to the implementation of governance, compliance, KPIs, planning and expansion, including potential for M&A operations.
To support this infrastructure, MCG adopts a progressive royalty model, which starts at 15% of revenue for Affiliated and drops to 10% for the Apex level, with the logic of rewarding greater institutional maturity.

Creator of MCG, Janguiê Diniz is founder and president of the Board of Directors of Grupo Ser Educacional, president of ABMES and founder of Instituto Êxito de Empreendedorismo, as well as an investor and business mentor working on different business and education platforms.
“Every market that grows without structure reaches an inflection point: either it organizes itself, or it loses credibility. What we are proposing is to anticipate this professionalization and create a new institutional layer for the business mentoring sector”, he states.
