What is Founder Mentors?

  
  
  

First, a confession, I'm an unabashed fan of startups and the entrepreneurs that make them go. But, let's be honest, being a founder can be lonely. It's not easy to find people who can relate to the challenges you face every day, let alone find experienced founders who are willing to help you tackle those challenges.

So, I've always tried to make myself available, to make time to meet with other entrepreneurs, listen to their struggles, and look for ways I can help. I've made introductions, analyzed business plans, reviewed pitch decks, criticized product ideas, recommended employees, and hopefully added some value.

Over the years I've met with hundreds of bright, eager men and women, with great visions and real challenges. And hopefully I've been able to help a few of them move their businesses forward.

Unfortunately, the demand from new entrepreneurs quickly outgrew the number of lunches or dinners I could take by myself. Fortunately I'm not the only one who's willing to help.

At Founder Mentors, we've pulled together dozens of experienced active founders who are willing to give their time and share their expertise, simply because they love startups and entrepreneurs too. We've put a little process around matching and provided some guidelines on how to make the most of your time with a mentor.

So, wanna meet a great mentor? Apply now!

Glad to see this is up and running, Sean! I've been talking it up to potential mentors. Let me know if you find founders who want to start a media business. I'll do my best to convince them it's a bad idea.
