To get somewhere in life, business, study, relationships or anything else, it's important to get guidance from a mentor. But finding the right mentor is difficult. Mentspot provides a simple way to get connected with Mentors and Mentees in any category.

Hi ProductHunt! I'm the founder of Mentspot. I built this because it's still difficult to find someone who can mentor you, even if you're actively looking. So instead of searching for hours via LinkedIn or Facebook to find a mentor, through MentSpot anyone can find a mentor in a few clicks. The site also has has features like a goal lists, chat, audio conferencing. Goal lists make it easier for a mentor (and yourself) to help you progress through the process. MentSpot has been under the radar for a while, as more mentors were needed before we could launch it publicly. Now is that time! It's great to see how MentSpot is already helping people get in touch with the help they need. I'd love to hear what you think!

As with many other platform-based products, how do you get a good base of mentors on this platform in the first place? What would be your strategy?

We have a pretty high conversion rate just from running simple ads. MentSpot is different than, for example, LinkedIn because it covers not only business coaching but also any form of guidance one can give or get. Moving forward, we will implement a way to get paid for Mentoring and monetize the product, which will allow us to invest more into user acquisition.

Great idea! It's always good to have another opinion. Although the system seems a bit abstract. What if a mentor can't help or not qualified enough? What if advices from mentor will lead to a BAD concequences? Can't really understand the whole structure with time perspective/goals achieving.

@andrey_zaplatin It is up to both parties to decide whether there is a click and one can support another. There is also a review system so you can base on the Mentor's previous opinions. It is also not a professional or paid service, so it's based more on guidance than say, replacing a therapist. The Mentor sets the goals for a mentee and this helps to evaluate the progress of their work. Let me know if you have any other questions!

@luisdobreira For now, per request of the Mentors we added a way to get tipped for mentoring with www.buymeacoffee.com. After they setup an account, the active button will be visible on the Mentor's profiles. After we test how the users respond to this, we might implement a way to get paid for mentoring and charge a fee based on that amount. The second option is to keep it free and monetize it with ads. What's your suggestion?

@aleksandraszte2 I do love the idea of "free for everyone" but it's always a challenge...
