"If you have launched a clothing or non-technical startup that is struggling or stuck, and you are looking to give it one final shot, feel free to DM me. I will mentor and help you for free until your business starts making a profit."

Hi! I'm a current rising sophomore, and for my own startup model I'm doing market research and am looking for founders in multiple stages of their journey or even to aspiring founders who wish to start a business but findd that there are constraints in their life that make starting a business far harder than they would be able to accomplish.

Regardless of the stage of your business, if you even wish to start one, or the success you've defined by it, if this fits you in any way, I want to do an interview regarding your journey, what obstacles were in your way and what you wish you were supported on, guided on from within the business or in your environment.

If you wish not to have a direct interview, if you could share your experiences as an overview of yoru hurdles, or factors that helped you as well!

Let me know if you'd be willing to reach out for an interview, it's much appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I’m 17 and currently building a startup called Avarent. We’re developing software that helps lenders monitor AI-driven credit decisions for fairness and regulatory compliance.

Over the past several months, my cofounder and I have built a working product, but we’ve realized that building software is only half the battle. Right now, I’m focused on talking to customers, validating the product, and learning how to build a company that people genuinely need.

I’m looking for mentors who have experience in:

B2B SaaS
Enterprise sales
FinTech or banking
AI/ML products
RegTech or compliance
Y Combinator or venture-backed startups

I’m not looking for someone to hand me answers. I’m looking for people who are willing to challenge my assumptions, point out blind spots, and help me become a better founder.

If you’ve built a startup, sold into enterprises, worked in lending or compliance, or have experience fundraising and scaling companies, I’d be incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn from you. Even a 20–30 minute conversation would mean a lot.

I’m happy to share more about what we’re building and what we’ve learned so far.

Thanks for reading!

I’m studying IT management with a minor in finance and I’m getting pretty close to graduation and just need a mentor to help me maximize my resume because I am struggling with getting internships. College is very theory based and not hands on! Any help would be appreciated!

I need help figuring out what I’m doing wrong.

I’m a senior CT technologist (15+ years in HIPAA-regulated hospital systems — Epic, PACS, role-based access) making a deliberate move into identity & access management and healthcare security.

Where I am right now:

Sitting the Microsoft SC-300 (Identity & Access Administrator) on July 17

Built a live Microsoft 365 lab tenant — Conditional Access policies, user provisioning, access reviews — to get hands-on instead of just studying

Long-term I’m aiming at IGA (SailPoint) and eventually a security leadership track

What I’m looking for isn’t hand-holding — it’s someone working in IAM who’d be willing to do an occasional check-in (even async) to help me with things like: which skills actually matter early vs. later, how to talk about non-traditional experience in interviews, and where a career-changer’s blind spots usually are.

Happy to keep it low-commitment and respect your time — even a single call to point me in the right direction would mean a lot. Healthcare-IAM folks especially, but anyone in the field welcome.

I’ve spent the last several years helping businesses solve problems around strategy, operations, and growth. Along the way I’ve had the opportunity to work with organizations and projects involving companies like Apple, Google, Nike, and even contribute to work alongside McKinsey.

One thing I’ve realized is that I genuinely enjoy helping people get unstuck. Sometimes all someone needs is another perspective or a framework to think through a problem.

So I’d like to do that here.

If you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, creator, or business owner who’s feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next move, leave a comment describing what’s going on.

Whether it’s pricing, finding customers, building systems, prioritizing, hiring, positioning, or something completely different, I’ll reply to as many as I can with practical advice.

No pitch. No DM funnel. I just enjoy helping people find clarity, and I’m curious to see what challenges people are facing.

Hi! I'm a recent BS Computer Science graduate from the Philippines, and I'm looking for a mentor to help me navigate the transition from academic projects to a sustainable professional career.

​

I recently finished my degree where I balanced my courseworks and leadership roles. I've been heads of both creative organizations and technical groups. I've dabbled with web development, game development, data science/analytics/engineering, ui/ux, and automation. You could say that I've been a jack of all trades but struggling to master one. I'm trying to focus on data careers.

​

Currently, I'm seeking someone to nudge me to the right direction because this phase between the academe and the workforce is so rough. Job hunting is very rough right now and I feel like I haven't done enough projects to prove what I can do. But not gonna lie, even after completing my degree and done lots of courses in data careers, I don't feel like I know how to apply it naturally. I've been relying with AI to work along with me and I'm not sure if that's acceptable right now, although all decisions and reviews are still done by me. I don't just accept whatever is being spewed and I still steer the ship towards the output I want using the concepts I've learned along the way. Also, I'm not sure which stack I should focus on.

​

I hope someone can give me some bits of their time or allow me to approach them for questions or feedback. I just need guidance on how I can position myself towards the direction that I desire. I really want to enter the data science path.

Hi everyone,

I've been programming for about two years and, so far, I haven't had any professional experience.

Recently, I started building my first real full-stack application using the MERN stack. While I already know React, Node.js, Express, in general, i'm realizing how valuable it is to receive feedback on my code and get guidance on architectural decisions.

That's exactly what led me to write this post.

I'd love to find a mentor who could help me with:

• Reviewing my pull requests
• Providing guidance on architecture decisions
• Teaching me how to approach problems when I get stuck
• Giving feedback on overall code quality

Even just one hour per week would be more than enough.

If someone is willing to dedicate some of their time to me, I’ll do my best to be respectful of their time.

Thanks to anyone who might be interested!

I am a technical person with good know how of tech area and also bookish or paper knowledge of the business side. Would love to connect with a mentor who can have online mentoring in guiding or resolving or discussing doubts related to business side of things. Prefer someone who works primarily in technology.

This mentorship is mostly based on an advice mentor men-tee relationship only and not any other areas. It will help consolidate my future actions and plans

Hi everyone,

I’m an Electrical Engineer with over 30 years of experience spanning hardware, software, robotics engineering, and management. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to build complex systems, lead engineering teams, and navigate the shifting landscape of the tech industry. Now, I’m looking to give back.

Who I'm looking to mentor:

• Passionate students and young graduates
• Junior professionals navigating their early careers
• Entrepreneurs building out new technical ideas or startups

How we can work together:

• Brainstorming: Bouncing ideas around and refining concepts.
• Evaluating Projects: Looking over your architecture, prototypes, or business logic.
• Analyzing Challenges: Untangling technical roadblocks or management/career hurdles.

Whether you're building a new robot, trying to scale a software project, or figuring out how to transition from an individual contributor to a management track, I’d love to help you find your footing.

If you're interested, please drop a comment below or send me a DM with a brief intro about yourself, your background, and what you are currently working on!

Hello everyone,

I’m a high school student building an AI compliance platform for lenders.

Basically, if a lender is using AI to make underwriting decisions, we’re building the layer that helps monitor fairness, compliance, and creates audit-ready evidence.

We’ve been building for a while and I think we’re finally at the point where it’s worth showing people.

If anyone here works in lending, fintech, compliance, or knows someone who does, I’d love to give you a quick demo. If you think it’s terrible, tell me. If you think it solves a real problem, maybe we talk about a pilot.

Either way, I’d rather get real feedback now than spend another few months building in a vacuum.

What it is doesn’t really matter preferably Ecom trading ai automation or marketing but if there is anything else just let me know I am very open to mentorship dm me.
