Mentor Me

MentorMe is built for early-stage entrepreneurs who want more than just advice — they want progress. We connect you with experienced mentors from the 28DIGITAL ecosystem who will challenge you, support you, and guide you through the critical first stages of building a startup.

Over 4 months of focused, high-impact mentoring, followed by 2 months of light-touch follow-up, you’ll work closely with your assigned mentors to accelerate your startup’s development in the areas that matter most — product, team, sales, and funding.

MentorMe follows a practical, results-driven monthly structure:

• Session Booking: At the beginning of each month, you schedule mentoring sessions across four essential tracks:
  • Product-market fit
  • Team dynamics
  • Sales & marketing
  • Funding readiness
• 1:1 Mentoring: Each session is laser-focused on your startup. Together with your mentor, you’ll map a clear path forward — with honest feedback, no fluff, and actionable steps. Every conversation moves the needle.
• Masterclasses: Highly recommended 30-minute Masterclasses every month to dive deep into tactical topics like CAC, term sheets, hiring, and LinkedIn for growth. Fast-paced, insightful, and startup-tested.
• Ongoing Contact: Mentors are accessible beyond scheduled sessions. Got an urgent question or investor meeting coming up? Reach out. The goal is clear: your startup’s growth.
• Warm introductions and next-step pathways for pilots, partnerships, or investment conversations.

Investor Practice Sessions

Pitch in front of real pre-seed and seed investors and get direct, no-nonsense feedback. These pitch sessions are designed to sharpen your narrative and get you investor-ready — with your mentor helping you refine your approach after each session. You meet real investors ready to invest — we’ll make sure you impress them.
