Mentor List is a searchable database of professionals willing to help anyone who wants to learn about their field. The idea came from my college friends struggling to find a professional who can help them get into the career they want. My vision for this product is to create the largest mentor-mentee network.

There's a few reasons why I think having a "Seeking mentor" section would be helpful. First off, some people might be a bit apprehensive or shy about contacting a mentor, but if there were a section for people seeking mentors, where the mentors contact the person personally, that would help the problem. Also, what if the mentor has someone requesting a heavy amount of help? Again, "seeking mentor" section would give an idea to the mentors what they might get themselves into. Finally, and this is based on my problem, what if you are lost and need advice/mentoring in many areas? I'd much rather have the option to post something like "seeking mentor with experience in ___ and ____ and/or _____, to help me figure out what the ____ I'm doing."
I hope this made sense. Don't get me wrong, I think this is a stellar idea. But I really wish that those who are seeking mentors had a place, a voice, too.
Pros:
It's a friggin mentor list! Finally I don't have to awkwardly wait for fate to send me my teacher!
Cons:
It's mentor-focused only; there's no place for those whom are *seeking* mentors to write a blurb about what they need help with.

@Nahom, the site is throwing an error (localhost refused to connect) so I can't login, although Auth0 recognizes my account...
Very valuable but even though I've seen multiple versions of this over the years, nothing seems to stick. Interestingly, was talking to a friend involved with the mentor program that LinkedIn is testing. Looks like it LinkedIn finds it easier to get Mentors to sign up but not enough people are looking for help .
@prateeks@mdnahom Same for me, I've been struggling to find people to advice / mentor me on specific subjects. Actually Quora tends to give somehow a solution to this issue as well.

Looks really cool and useful! Maybe It would be practical to be able to classify mentors by tags like for example : Web designer, Amazon, Mobile iOS, Animation, etc...
Well done!
I like this for many reasons. The major one is I am a mentor at Fresno State for their Entrepreneurship Program. I was just talking with my wife about opening a mentor consultant business since I don't see many. This would be a great way to match everyone.
Pros:
Concept. Connections that help
Cons:
Maybe let mentors talk about themselves

Looks really nice 👏 Thanks for making this @mdnahom 🙏 I was chatting to two classmates yesterday who were asking me how I was able to meet and discuss with mentors or professionals sometimes from across the world.
I was suggesting them Twitter and Out Of Office Hours by Dustin Senos. I am happy to know that I will be able to suggest also Mentor List from now 🙌
This is awesome! I've been struggling to find people who can give guidance on certain tasks so this is a really helpful tool. It's really cool that so many people signed up to help others for free.
