The GrowthMentor Community consists of a solid mix of founders and marketers with a dash of product managers and UX designers. The atmosphere of our meetups would definitely be classified as lively πŸŽ‰

Toronto-based Growth Mentors will be in the house and ready to chat all things growth and startups. Many collabs have come from our meetups not to mention new friendships formed πŸ™‚

  • Authentic Networking Experiences: Dive into genuine, old-school networking where meaningful connections are the main agenda.
  • In-Depth Growth Conversations: Engage in lively discussions focused on Growth Marketing, where sharing knowledge and insights takes center stage.
  • New Customer Connections: Discover opportunities to meet future clients and grow your business right at the meetup.

  • Lasting Friendships: Beyond the professional perks, genuine friendships are often one of the most cherished outcomes of our meetups.

Curious about what topics are generally discussed at our events? Pretty much the same things that are discussed on the platform. These are the topics of the calls booked on the GrowthMentor platform in the last year.

GrowthMentor topics

Mentors on our platform are highly vetted and one of the biggest characteristics we look for during the interview process is the genuine desire to help others. SO there is no need to be nervous, these folks are super friendly and knowledgeable.
