Two Ways To Show Up
This is not a generic mentor roster. The strongest mentors either stay close for the cohort rhythm or step in precisely where their depth changes the next 90 days.
Work closely with a small number of founders through the cohort and help them improve judgement in real time.
Step in where your domain depth can unblock a company faster than general advice ever could.
Also valuable
Strong founder referrals and operator introductions are always useful.
Why Mentors Stay Close
The strongest mentors do this because it is useful for founders and worthwhile for them. You stay close to smart teams, sharpen your own judgement, and help companies get better faster.
Impact
The best mentors help founders avoid slower, more expensive mistakes before they compound.
Network
The mentor network becomes a useful surface for meeting other operators, founders, and investors.
Pattern Recognition
Mentoring keeps you near emerging products, new categories, and founder behaviour before it becomes obvious.
Relationships
The strongest mentor-founder relationships keep going after demo day when the company is still scaling.
Learning
Helping founders under pressure is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own judgement and communication.
Give Forward
Mentoring is a practical way to return value to the ecosystem without drifting into vague advice.
Is this for you?
We are not building a large, passive mentor list. Before you apply, it is worth knowing whether the way we work actually fits how you like to help.
Self-check
Do founders already come to you for judgement on strategy, GTM, hiring, or fundraising?
Can you give candid feedback without turning it into a consulting project?
Would 1 to 2 hours a week feel realistic if you joined as an advisory mentor?
Do you want to help a few teams deeply instead of giving broad generic advice?

Mentor matching is based on stage fit, domain expertise, and founder needs across each cohort. We focus on practical alignment so mentor time creates clear outcomes.
Advisory mentors usually commit 1 to 2 hours weekly over a 12-week cohort. Expert mentors are engaged as needed, typically around 1 to 2 days annually across focused interventions.
Yes. Many mentor-founder relationships continue post-cohort as startups raise capital, scale pilots, and expand go-to-market execution.
