Today we're introducing GrowthMentor, a platform designed to connect founders and marketers with experienced mentors. Created by Foti, a former VP of Growth who was seeking mentorship himself, this platform aims to facilitate meaningful exchanges between people that want to grow startups with those that have verifiable track-records doing just that. It's a space where knowledge and experience are shared, with a focus on practical advice and getting things done. GrowthMentor offers a variety of mentors, each with their unique expertise and background, allowing users to find guidance tailored to their specific business challenges. The community-driven ethos of the platform emphasizes empathy and helping because it feels good as opposed to doing it for monetary reasons alone. I'm curious to see how this platform will be received by the Product Hunt community and look forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments! You can connect with me on GrowthMentor here!

@nikkielizdemere Hi, we create Web Operating System with own app store, where users get software from. Your app is amazing and we want to enable you to share it to our users 🙂 Can we talk?

That's a really cool idea, I especially like that many mentors keep doing this for free. Is there something like a matching process to automatically show the best mentors for me? (depending on my geography, industry, topic, ...) or do I have to go through all mentors to find a fitting one?

@lrueger @lrueger Yep! We've got a couple different matching methods beyond the classic filters on the browse page. The first one is the AI matching https://app.growthmentor.com/mat... where you just write your pain/challenge and desired outcome and we use generative AI to find matches for you. You can learn more about that feature in our technical case study here - https://www.growthmentor.com/blo... - Another matching feature (my favorite) is the help request. This is where you say what you're looking for help with, and then mentors apply to help you with a reason why they think they're a good fit. This is probably the most powerful feature of GrowthMentor by far.

@lrueger yup! You can post a help request which relevant mentors reply to, select mentors using really helpful filters (including industry, software, etc) and they even have an AI matching tool.

Hey Product Hunters! 🚀 Imagine having a Netflix-like subscription, but instead of movies, you get unlimited access to 600+ mentors ready to just on a 1:1 video call to help you get unstuck with any startup, marketing, or product-related challenge you’re facing. **Welcome to the magical land of GrowthMentor:** ♾️ Unlimited Free Calls, No Exorbitant Fees. Forget paying $150+ per hour in the open market for this level of expertise. Our disruptive subscription model offers unlimited access to vetted mentors with a track record of success in growing startups. 🤝 Over 84% of our mentors offer their time for free. As part of our “Give First Pricing Model” only after three reviews can mentors start charging, but most mentors keep helping people for free even after 3 reviews because it’s a.) intellectually stimulating for them and b.) it feels good to help people. 💡De-Risk Decision-Making As a founder or growth person, the weight of decision-making can be overwhelming. I’ve personally experienced this and use GrowthMentor myself to grow GrowthMentor, having booked over 200 sessions with 100+ different mentors as a mentee, alongside my 500+ sessions as a mentor. Being able to just “talk things through” with someone who’s been there before, is a legit growth hack. ❤️‍🔥Hearts & Smarts We’re all about genuine connections, not just business transactions. We are looking for mentors who get that and are here to offer real, empathetic guidance, not to make a quick buck or push their own agenda. Our secret sauce is curating mentors who truly get our ethos – good karma, and a genuine passion for lifting others up. 🌟 Multi-Mentor Approach Why settle for one mentor when you can have a team? Whether it's scaling your SEO, raising funding, or bootstrapping a SaaS, our diverse range of mentors means you get specialized advice for each challenge. 📖 The GrowthMentor Story In 2008, I found myself as a newly appointed head of marketing at a startup with zero experience. 8 years later, wrestling with self-doubt and imposter syndrome, my journey took a pivotal turn during a chat with a freelancer on Upwork, who unexpectedly boosted my confidence. This interaction sparked an idea: to create a platform connecting insecure operators like myself with experienced mentors who are doers, not just talkers. Thus, GrowthMentor was born. The road to bootstrapping GrowthMentor wasn't smooth. Faced with the very real possibility of bankruptcy and the risk of losing my development team, I had to make tough decisions. Pivoting to a subscription model was a gamble that fortunately paid off. It transformed GrowthMentor into more than just a mentorship marketplace; it became a thriving community where thousands engage in active learning and forge human connections. I founded GrowthMentor out of a personal need and a gap in the market. Now, it’s become a community where thousands of founders and marketers get advice from operators who are actually “doing the things” not just talking about it on LinkedIn. We’re redefining mentoring, and we can’t wait for you to join us on this journey. Your mentor dream team is just a few clicks away. Let's grow together! Looking forward to your thoughts, feedback, and of course, seeing you on GrowthMentor! Cheers, Foti 🌱

Incredible people & community. I joined GrowthMentor in 2020 and not only did I get amazing advice to help me grow my businesses, I made some lifelong mentors and friends. Things I've gotten help with: Landing page copy review, growth advice, mindset coaching, learning how to be a better manager and way more. The IRL meetups within this community are ace too - so many good people and great conversations. Really thankful for Foti, Jessica and all the mentors and friends I've made.

I've loved my time using Growth Mentor. It's been pivotal to my mental health and business well-being. I've been able to stretch my business savvy with the help of many mentors. The key has been the ability to vent frustration with people who just get it. They understand what it takes to succeed. I run my own business alone and often times I feel alone. Growth Mentor has helped me greatly overcome the feeling of nihilism, anxiety and loneliness.

@kampheyapproved >>>>> Growth Mentor has helped me greatly overcome the feeling of nihilism, anxiety and loneliness. This is definitely an understated benefit of GrowthMentor. So many of the sessions I've done with founders have been like therapy for founders. This path is NOT easy. Growth isn't supposed to be. Sometimes you just need to speak to somebody. That's what this community is made for.

Growth mentor is a career and therefore life changing experience! I've been here for over 4 years and love every single session that I'm doing as either mentor or mentee. As a matter of fact I met my current partner on growth mentor when he booked a session with me. Helping others, learning about their problems, providing actionable advice, courses, books and insights is the best part of being a mentor for me. Being able to approach world class experts on a plethora of subject matters is the best part of being a mentee :) Go Foti and GM team!

Review GrowthMentor?

Reviewers consistently describe GrowthMentor as a strong source of practical, one-on-one advice from experienced startup and marketing operators, with particular praise for the quality of mentors, easy booking, and the breadth of perspectives available. Several also value the community, Slack access, events, and matching tools that help them find relevant people quickly. The feedback is overwhelmingly positive and somewhat one-sided, but the most concrete comments say it helped users solve specific business problems, validate ideas, learn faster, and even land a senior startup role.
