I'm very impressed with the number of mentors available on the platform ... congrats for doing such a great job on solving that half of the "chicken and egg" problem of a marketplace! I'm sure you're going to attract quite a few mentees.

@jordankingxyz Thanks, we seem to have a pretty good conversion rate so hope to keep it up and get even more mentees and mentors!

Great product! Some point of improvement, if I may: 1. Would like to see more validation on firstname, lastname for uniformity. Currently, I see a lot of folks who have their email as their name, or a username as their only name. This makes the experience inconsistent and requires more cognitive load than necessary. 2. Consider increasing the number of mentors listed (currently each page only lists 5). I get that it might be tempting to keep as is for several reasons (e.g. 11 pages of 5 mentor each looks better than 6 pages of 10 or so and the more users have to click to each page, the longer they stay on your site), but these are tricks that prioritize your metrics over the user experience. Not saying you're necessarily doing this, just pointing this out. 3. Ratings - It's so encouraging to read the reviews people leave, but if there were a quick way to rate a mentor based on several criteria (e.g. responsiveness, depth of subject matter expertise, etc.) averaged to a 1-4 scale or something, that would be great. Of course, perhaps that is not desired because it might allow bad actors to artificially/maliciously or otherwise unfairly rate a mentor with a very low score.

@aleksandraszte2 great site. Is it designed to schedule in person meetups or facilitate virtual mentorship opportunities? Thanks!

@aleksandraszte2 @bryce_mckernan It is meant for virtual meetings. We've implemented features like a goal list, chat, audio conferencing. I hope you will sign up and give it a go!

Great idea but add a FAQ and About us page, so that it will be more trustworthy.

@stacycarmouche We can't share too much because of the privacy, but I can say that some people found guidance when they needed it. We're happy to see active mentors and mentees that come back to our platform and keep their connections and work on their goals.
