Gucci meets Ōura Ring

Learning from others firsthand is essential. We watch and learn from all of you launching every day. But there are some questions and situations that require a little more context and personalization.

Mana helps you find advice from builders, creators, and professionals who have been where you want to go. This happens through 1:1 video calls and live-streamed office hours and workshops. You also have access to resources like guides, templates, and toolkits and can join chat communities with others on a similar path.

When founders James Lo and Bobby Tang left their jobs at McKinsey and Apple, they realized many of their peers wanted to switch careers or start something of their own. What stood in the way was a lack of tactical advice from others who were in the same situation. That’s why they built Mana. Tang says that “people have raised entire funding rounds, made critical career transitions, and even decided their college major” on the app.

Scrolling through Mana’s catalog, you’ll see experts ranging from start-up founders and investors to yoga instructors and music producers. They’re also accepting applications for new mentors, in case you or someone you know might be interested.
