I know many many extremely intelligent, driven, and practical people that want to start a startup (or have started one), but lack the mentorship to put them into the right mindset. Great mentors are really difficult to find, and it's fantastic that you're offerring your advice to people that would otherwise have a hard time getting it. (Of course some funding is nice too, though I'd argue it's less important).
- icey 16y agoIn my opinion, the internet is the great equalizer. You can ask someone a question over email, or on a forum like this, or over Twitter and you can often get thought-out responses. Not that it could ever replace an investor relationship, but there's no reason that people can't solicit advice from people who have already achieved success. Of course, you may not always get a response, but you'd be surprised by how approachable many people are.
