Discover the power of online mentorship with Mentorist, connecting students and young professionals with experienced experts in their field.

What is Mentorist?

Mentorist is an online mentoring platform founded in 2019 that aims to democratize access to mentorship. It operates a software platform that connects students, young professionals, and those looking for career guidance with experienced mentor volunteers across industries and functions.

Users sign up and fill out profiles highlighting their background, interests, skills, and career goals. Algorithmic matching and self-selecting then allows them to connect with prospective mentors who seem like a good fit. Conversations happen over text, audio, and video messaging within the platform.

Key features include mentor profiles and areas of expertise, goal and timeline-driven mentorships, templated mentoring frameworks, secure messaging and video chat, progress tracking tools, resource libraries, and communities. Its platform manages all the scheduling, messaging, and tools to facilitate productive mentor-mentee relationships.

The startup was founded on the belief that everyone should have access to the wisdom and guidance that comes from a mentor. Its platform aims to remove geography and network barriers to quality mentorship, especially for those needing career advice or support. This can help improve outcomes, exposure, access to opportunities, and success.
