Exactly - we're not a "pay to get a job" site. There's plenty of those. We just think that the insights people have inside companies are incredibly valuable and if you want to make them free, then you'll have the same pitfall every "mentorship platform" has today: it doesn't scale. I'm a mentor who helps 5 people a month for free + everyone else in my network I already agree to help. What about when that reaches 10 or 15 people? Do you still keep doing it enthusiastically out of the goodness of your own heart? I'm sure some would, but I'd rather they get compensated and do a good job of helping everyone. Some of our best insiders ask us for 7-10 calls a week, and before adding the monetary incentive, I couldn't get my friends to take even 2 calls in the same week because "they're busy".
