Hey everyone! First of all, big thanks to @mwseibel and @ycombinator for hunting us! My name is Benjamin and together with @rune_lohr_hauge I built Mentorcam. We give you access to otherwise inaccessible people for 1-on-1 mentorship and advice on a range of topics from startup fundraising to dating. So what problem are we really solving here?? Access to quality advice from high-profile people is inherently very difficult. Why? If you’re an Olympic gold medal winner, famous musician, or high-profile VC, you don’t have the time, bandwidth, or incentive to give your thoughtful feedback and individually tailored advice to many people at all, let alone to strangers. It’s time-consuming, it’s not lucrative, and it’s risky to engage in these types of interactions 1-on-1. Meanwhile, the people that look up to these public figures are hitting them for advice because, well, why wouldn’t you want advice from those who are the best at what they do? Unfortunately, you probably won’t even get an automated response if you DM them on twitter or send them a cold email. Ok, so now I can suddenly get introduced to and talk to the people I look up to just like that, huh? Yes. By communicating via short, asynchronous video messages on Mentorcam you can access these high-profile people and engage in a private conversation for a fraction of the cost and effort of getting a meeting or a live consulting session (that’s if they’d even do it—hint, most of them won’t). Mentors get to share their knowledge in a way that doesn’t take much of their time, doesn’t require scheduling, and is incredibly lucrative per unit of time invested. Mentees get access to the people that can help solve their problem, don’t have to pay exorbitant fees for advice, and can access their mentors and ask for feedback on the go whenever it’s convenient. Thanks for checking out our product, we look forward to hearing what you think! If you see a mentor you like and want to interact with them, here is a special 30% discount code for the Product Hunt community: PH30.

I've always been thinking about reaching out to more established entrepreneurs for coaching and mentoring opportunities - Mentorcam is a great solution!

@alex_s_4 Thanks Alex! We're building out the entrepreneurial category. Suggestions for new mentors to add are welcome. :)

Huge fan of the Mentorcam team. I'm always really disappointed by the generic information you find online so excited to get some personalized answers to my questions from real experts.
Rune Løhr Hauge
@zucchini Thanks Julien. Access to personalized non-generic feedback and advice is exactly the drive behind what we do.

Thanks to Mentorcam, I was able to seek advice from @chrisyeh. Around 2-month ago, I was wrestling with a tough career-defining question that I couldn't answer on my own. Chris responded within 3 hours while traveling abroad on business. Not only did he answer my question, but he also provided real-life examples that he has faced himself and overcame. Great app!
