Meander

Great to see you here! Well done @anna_buldakova1 and @handspringer ! I've been both mentor and mentee and it worked really nice for me from both perspectives!

Congratulations to Meander on your launch! Totally understand how challenging it can be to break away from the traditional career path, so I'm really happy to see Meander taking a brave step toward matching mentors with those who need guidance. As a fellow designer, I often find myself considering alternative routes, but finding the right support can be daunting. That's why I'm inspired by Meander's innovative approach and excited to see where it takes you.

I've used the platform for more than 6 months and it's been a great way to connect with mentees and coaching clients. I appreciate that the platform collects reviews and has a low commission. The support channel is also very responsive. They've quickly fixed issues and implemented ideas I've shared to improve the product for my use cases. An area for improvement would be the ability to connect with mentees already on the platform. They have a feature where you can do some outreach but I've had limited success with it. I mostly bring clients to the platform from my own channels. It also still needs to support discounts or coupon codes for clients.

Awesome product and the idea behind it. What a value for anyone looking to level up and with the amount of top-notch mentors, there must be someone for every need. Sleek and easy-to-use platform, beautiful design. Thank you for the opportunities provided!

Just got going on the platform and am excited about it. The design and layout of the site is incredible, and it really was a breeze to sign up. I look forward to it!

I use it as a mentor. And it's a good platform, convenient for most often tasks for mentoring. I'm waiting for the paid sessions' availability!

@anna_buldakova1 @dashamrt really great to hear your personal experiences, and as somebody who worked their way through the ranks and around a few different roles before leadership, my own experience is very similar. So many people have trouble finding a mentor willing and able to provide the time, particularly when they're early, so I hope this skyrockets. I've made sure to sign up as a mentor and I hope I can be helpful. Easy sign up process by the way. I appreciated having the examples in the fields so ❤️ to your UX/Design skills for those!

Oh, it's wonderful to come across your launch here! I actually had an experience where I wanted to book a session with a mentor on your platform but couldn't find any pricing information. Upon revisiting the platform now, I noticed that some mentors offer their services for free. I'm curious about their motivation and if there's a difference between paid and free services🧐 Additionally, I'm interested to know if the platform has any obligations when it comes to paid mentorship. Can you shed some light on these aspects?

It seems a fantastic resource for anyone looking to level up their career. The platform's intuitive search and scheduling tools make it simple to find someone who can help you with your specific career goals, and the sessions themselves are always incredibly valuable. Congratulations! 👏

I'm a mentor on Meander - https://meander.so/m/KlaudGrave - and the team behind Meander were the ones who introduced me to the whole mentoring thing. Becoming a mentor helped me re-evaluate my professional self, better understand my strengths, review my experience, and help my mentees with their requests. The Meander team builds a strong community of mentors and mentees, supporting both sides with insights, articles, webinars, and other assets. The team is great, and the platform evolves rapidly. Thanks and keep up the good work!
