Whether you're part of an established company or an independent developer, we're here to support your career growth.

Can I have more than one mentor?

Yes, you're welcome to contact multiple mentors! It's important to find the right match for your needs, but please keep in mind that a mentor's time is valuable. Building a strong relationship with one or more mentors is key to making the most of the mentorship experience.

How much does a mentor cost?

You can reach out to any mentor free of charge. If a mentor is interested in working with you, they will arrange a complimentary 30-minute introductory meeting to discuss your needs and assess fit. After the initial meeting, it's entirely up to you and the mentor to decide how to proceed with any ongoing mentorship.

Who are these mentors?

Regardless of their specialty, all our mentors are dedicated to helping you grow and succeed through their mentorship.

Can I meet a mentor in person?

Yes, we encourage you to decide how you'd prefer to meet with your mentor. When reaching out, it's helpful to let the mentor know your preferred meeting format - whether it's an in-person meeting, a virtual chat, or a phone call.
