We built MentorBot to give teams actionable advice on growth hacking, product, investors, company culture and other crucial topics right in your Slack.
What MentorBot can do for you and your team:
- Post relevant advice to specific channels. For example, you can subscribe your #design channel to ”Design“ topic, and your #product team — to ”Product“.
- Give links to grasp context
- Keep you updated on hot industry topics with matching advices
Like our fellow entrepreneurs outside SV we don’t have access to prominent mentors. That’s why we built Insighs.vc, where we offered curated advice by successful founders, investors, and experts. With the new bot, you can instantly get context-aware advice, share it with your team, and get smarter.

@mishalyalin I small bit of advice, the plural of advice is advice… :-) You might want to fix your website.
Great idea! I just installed it and going to test ;)
Why are we limited to 3 topics @bentossell? I would like to receive advice about more than 3 topics :)
@alchorro Hi Anne-Laure! We did some testing and we found out that focus is key when you're trying to, well, focus on a particular topic :) Besides, you're not really limited — you can subscribe different Slack channels to different (relevant) topics. And more customisation options are coming, of course.
@bentossell you can subscribe each slack channel only to 3 topics, there is a limit set.

Is this like RSS, or does it take in any inputs? How does it choose when to post?
Contextless/unsolicited tips seem like information overload, and another distraction.
I would like to see a bot like this which uses the specific stage/type of company to filter and schedule this kind of advice.

@tombielecki It's up to you to choose posting schedule, and topics for each channel, so you get advice on product development in your #product channel, for example. We'll make it more context-aware in the upcoming releases; right now we calculated the number of advices to be as comfortable as possible.
@ekuyda thanks! Standalone app is in the works, Telegram bot as well. We're also exploring Messenger and other mediums (maybe Luka?) that will help us to deliver the knowledge we have collected.

Is there no MentorBot for ProductHunt Friends Slack channel? It says "Your team is limited to 10 integrations on the Free plan".

@michaelbabich Hi Michael, you can install MentorBot if you uninstall another Slack app first — as it says, you can't have more than 10 with the free plan.
