Investor Brief · Seed
The private network for founders and the operators who built before them.
MentorMe is an invitation-only matchmaking platform that pairs ambitious entrepreneurs with vetted, late-career business leaders for high-trust mentorship — at the price of a streaming subscription, not a $40k retainer.
Why this, why now
The mentorship market is broken on both sides. We rebuilt the introduction layer.
Curated, not crowd-sourced
Every mentor is hand-vetted. Every founder is invited. No spam, no cold outreach, no anonymous DMs.
High signal, low risk
Verified identities, signed liability waivers, and a safety acknowledgement on every account. Built so trust scales.
Subscription economics
Recurring revenue from both sides of the marketplace, with a premium tier and yearly plan discount built in from day one.
Founder-friendly unit economics
Asynchronous matching plus async + live communication keeps mentor time efficient and platform margins healthy.
Inside the experience
A consumer-grade mobile product, built for the gravity of professional introductions.
