I do this. It's called being an advisor to your business. I charge US$325/hour or take a % in equity (mostly standard vesting terms with a cliff). I work with 3-5 startups at a time. What I do depends entirely on the startup. For some I just end up being a sort of confessor or therapist. For others I participate in strategy meetings, give feedback on products or services. And while I charge, I don't do it particularly for the money. I found that if I didn't charge something, if there wasn't some cost, then my time got treated as an unlimited resource, which it isn't And no, I'm not looking for additional mentees at this time.
