What do you look for in a startup mentor?
I'm curious to understand (hence my name) what kind of startup mentors indie founders look for. You can use the following points to guide your responses:
- Do you even require a startup mentor? Why do you think so?
- Which topics do you often struggle with, for which you are confident that only a mentor with more experience could help you?
- What do you despise / hate about the mentors that you hear about?
I'm eager to hear your responses!
A great startup mentor is someone who brings clarity, pattern recognition, and honest feedback—not just motivation.
The best mentors challenge assumptions and help founders make better decisions under pressure.
Alignment with your stage and goals matters more than big-name credentials.
