Partners
Mentors who answer the phone.
Not a calendar of talks. A short list of people who have done the thing a Fellow is doing, who take the call and tell the truth.
What a mentor will do
- Take a Fellow's call when it matters, not on a schedule.
- Say the uncomfortable thing early.
- Open one door a year that the Fellow could not open alone.
- Come to the finishing fortnight.
Who fits
Founders who have built and sold, or built and kept. Operators who have run the selling, the hiring and the closing. People who remember what the first year felt like and do not romanticise it.
The first mentors will be drawn from the network around The Inference Podcast, and named when the first cohort is.
The first mentors will be named when the first cohort is. Until then, this page describes the role.
