Meet a Mentor 💥 Women Founder Edition
Stuck on a problem? Get it solved 🕰️ It's time for Meet a Mentor.
Being an early-stage founder can feel like hitting a new wall every. single. day. Your go-to-market strategy feels fuzzy, your product roadmap is a mess of competing priorities, and fundraising feels like a total mystery.
What if you could just... ask an expert and get un-stuck, fast?
Welcome to Meet a Mentor 💥 Women Founder Series: high-energy, virtual speed-mentoring nights designed to give you direct access to Startmate’s incredible network of mentors.
