I run the mentor side of an accelerator cohort solo. Sign-up is fine, but by week four the mentors go quiet and I can't tell if I'm asking too much or too little. I tried assigning each founder a lead mentor plus one monthly group session. The group session attendance stayed okay; the 1:1s died first. What's actually worth keeping?

What a useful answer should help achieve
Walk away with one retention lever I can test in the next cohort without adding paid admin.
Already tried
Assigned lead mentors plus monthly group sessions; the 1:1s dropped first.
Constraints and unknowns
Solo operator, no extra budget for mentor management.
