HOW MENTORS SHOULD BE APPROVED

Not a directory of impressive titles.

A mentor should earn visibility by being useful for a specific founder problem. Internal scoring should consider proven operating experience, relevance to the founder’s goal, credibility, communication quality, willingness to mentor, pricing fit, and feedback from completed sessions.

WHAT THE MENTOR SEES

No wasting the first 20 minutes retelling your story.

With your permission, Founder OS can prepare a concise brief: company, current goal, what you tried, evidence, exact unresolved question, and the decision you want from the session.

SIMPLE BUSINESS MODEL

Mentors set value. Founders handles the experience.

Example only: a 60-minute session is sold for $250. The mentor receives $200 and Founders earns $50 for matching, booking, payment handling, Founder OS context, the AI-prepared briefing and follow-up workflow.

STATUS

Private mentor pipeline first.

We can identify potential mentors privately, contact them for permission, verify their expertise and agree on pricing. Nobody appears publicly as a Founders mentor until they opt in. Booking and payments come after that.
