@s2imon Definitely come through ;) Sessions was a need we have identified after mentees reached out looking for a quick way to talk to a mentor. Our core offering was always built around longterm mentorship – I love to see folks working together over months and years – but sometimes somebody just needs a 30min call to go over a portfolio or coding problem. That's what Sessions are built for. It helps reduce all the back-and-forth that is needed to find a fitting longterm mentor, just takes a few clicks instead.
Hey all!
I first posted MentorCruise on ProductHunt around two years ago. It was quite a different site back then and unsurprisingly we reached *checks* 17 upvotes.... Oh my.
The start of MentorCruise definitely wasn't shiny or glamorous, but with a bit of work over the years it grew to a mentorship marketplace with 200 mentors and currently over 4,000 registered users, having formed almost 1,000 mentorships, a great source of learning for both me and all mentees! Our goal is to provide professional mentorship, coaching and guidance to anyone – at a fair price.
The concept of MentorCruise is quite simple: If you want a mentor for your learning, career change, studies or anything else – MentorCruise has 200 of them that are pre-vetted, continuously evaluated and that you can book for free or a small weekly fee after you have applied to them.
Sessions are a way to book a mentor with a few clicks, a one-time fee and no back-and-forth. You get the contact details of a mentor right away and can get in touch. That's access to dozens of mentors and centuries of cumulative experience right in your pocket or your computer! No applications, no back-and-forth.
Super happy to introduce this today, thanks to all mentors who are giving their time for this cause, and all our mentees who gave such great feedback so far!
@dqmonn1 I love to mentor in Mentorcruise! If you need some help with usability and design just let me know.
@franky_holly Hey Franky (continuing this in English if that's fine :) ). For Sessions specifically, the price per Session is always the same. Just simpler like that, because it is quite a fixed scope and it's hard to evaluate why somebody should be able to charge more.
When it comes to the rest of the site, where folks with different experiences provide different services, there mentors can set their own prices based on services, experience etc.
Would love to get more imputs on the UX side – which texts specifically?
Mentorcruise is a great way to learn the latest tech or prepare you for interview at your next dream job.
Do the mentors receive the full amount that they ask for in their listings or Mentorcruise takes a fee?
I am a mentor here. I've helped several founders and experienced career minded individuals. The experience has been positive and beneficial for both parties.
ask for review after mentor cancell you because he has no time, and offer refund or at least discount for another mentor who actually has time and willing to fulfill his obligations and terms agreed upon.
@dqmonn1 has created an outstanding service with MentorCruise. I have personally been using MentorCruise for the past year+, and I can personally attest to its quality. The time I have spent with mentors has leveled up my knowledge base and made me very competitive in the job hunt process. I went from zero-to-hero in data structures and algorithms, and I can now hold my own in an interview setting. Anxiety is down, performance is up, and it's all thanks to @dqmonn1 and his idea that is MentorCruise. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend giving it a try for at least 3 months. You'll see improvement, and build lasting relationships at the same time. MentorCruise gives you that personalized approach to learning that really gives you the edge!
