Hey everyone! First of all, big thanks to @mwseibel and @ycombinator for hunting us!
My name is Benjamin and together with @rune_lohr_hauge I built Mentorcam. We give you access to otherwise inaccessible people for 1-on-1 mentorship and advice on a range of topics from startup fundraising to dating.
So what problem are we really solving here??
Access to quality advice from high-profile people is inherently very difficult. Why? If you’re an Olympic gold medal winner, famous musician, or high-profile VC, you don’t have the time, bandwidth, or incentive to give your thoughtful feedback and individually tailored advice to many people at all, let alone to strangers. It’s time-consuming, it’s not lucrative, and it’s risky to engage in these types of interactions 1-on-1.
Meanwhile, the people that look up to these public figures are hitting them for advice because, well, why wouldn’t you want advice from those who are the best at what they do? Unfortunately, you probably won’t even get an automated response if you DM them on twitter or send them a cold email.
Ok, so now I can suddenly get introduced to and talk to the people I look up to just like that, huh?
Yes. By communicating via short, asynchronous video messages on Mentorcam you can access these high-profile people and engage in a private conversation for a fraction of the cost and effort of getting a meeting or a live consulting session (that’s if they’d even do it—hint, most of them won’t). Mentors get to share their knowledge in a way that doesn’t take much of their time, doesn’t require scheduling, and is incredibly lucrative per unit of time invested. Mentees get access to the people that can help solve their problem, don’t have to pay exorbitant fees for advice, and can access their mentors and ask for feedback on the go whenever it’s convenient.
