Before you learned about GrowthMentor, how did you deal with the challenges you faced?
I used to (and still do) read a lot of blogs, ask people in my network (I am part of OnDeck) or various Slack communities.
Tell us about what you are currently working on.
I am the founder of Kosy – we are a full remote team of 10 split across Europe and have been backed by VC capital.
We are building a virtual space to help remote teams be more connected and productive.
What ultimately compelled you to sign up for GrowthMentor?
The clear value that a mentor could provide based on a specific problem I was facing. We were looking at product onboarding hence spoke to a few UX consultants when we got started!
What’s your favorite thing about GrowthMentor?
It’s great that I know I can have access to any mentor to unstuck me on any topic that I need.
I used to be a big fan of expert interviews back in my days in consulting. We used to use companies like GLG, Alphasights and Thirdbridge. However, these only work for big consulting/PE funds.
GrowthMentor works super well for startups.
Based on things you’ve discussed in calls, do you have any results to tell us about?
By speaking to various experts, it makes it a lot easier to understand what we know and what we don’t know about a certain topic.
For example, regarding our ProductHunt campaign, we got confirmation that we were thinking about it the right way with a few relevant pointers of where to look for more information.
For our onboarding flow, we got confirmation that we were also thinking about it the right way.
