Few are the founders who walked their entrepreneurial journey without the support of mentors and industry experts. As the British business magnate Richard Branson once said: "If you ask any successful business person, they will always have had a great mentor at some point along the road!.”
So, why is it recommended to consult a startup mentor? The short answer is:
• Learn the grounds for starting off a successful business model; get introduced to models that work best in your industry and to ones that don't.
• Listen to stories of success and failure; of known ones in the ecosystem and unknown ones that mentors, with entrepreneurial experiences, had experienced themselves. Use such stories to find the gaps in your business proposition and address them.
• Minimize sweat & tears; get equipped with shortcuts to long routes, and learn how to take action.
• Make connections that matter; you never know who the mentor can connect you with!
