Ideally, the mentor is:
1. an exited founder / growth expert with bragging rights
2. empathetic and open to pro bono mentoring for 4-5 hours a month
I'm building a network of startup mentors who genuinely love teaching founders how they achieved their success. We've had a couple of sessions booked through the platform already. If you know someone, please reply to this thread.
Many YC founders have used them before. It works because all of their mentors/coaches have built 7-8 figure businesses themselves.
