Can I get a mentor?

Can I have more than one mentor?
Yes, you can contact several mentors while you look for the right match. Please keep in mind that they give their own time.
How much does a mentor cost?
Reaching out to a mentor is free. If a mentor wants to work with you, they will set up a free 30-minute introductory meeting to talk about your needs and whether you're a good fit. After that meeting, you and the mentor decide together whether and how to continue.
