"It has strengthened my confidence as an advisor and shown me how quickly I can add value."
The match Connectd made between me and my mentee was spot on. I'm supporting a company using AI to improve mental health, which recently pivoted into consumer wellness, an area I already work in. I’ve been able to add value quickly by sharing industry insights, identifying partnership opportunities, and helping them think strategically about their pivot.
This experience has challenged me to think differently about my own industry, especially how technology can drive innovation and better outcomes. It has brought fresh ideas into my work and even opened up collaboration opportunities between my network and the startup I’ve been advising.
Absolutely. It has strengthened my confidence as an advisor and shown me how quickly I can add value. I would recommend it to anyone interested in supporting early-stage businesses. You’ll learn, grow, and make a real impact.
