The Problem
It’s hard to find a mentor, particularly in specialized, non-institutionalized and newly emergent areas of interest.

Also…
It’s hard to find a mentee that is a good fit based on skill level, commitment and availability.

The Solution
A cross-network platform that matches mentors and learners with compatible interests, goals, temperaments, schedules and incentives.
