Mentornity

Excellent mentorship service for early startups

Commentaires : As MekaDermis we use Mentornity for quite some time. We started as 3 people team back in early 2017. Now, we are 15 people hardware startup company with our own office and successfully acquired seed funds. As the founder, I give a huge credit to all of our mentors where we meet most of them through Mentornity, who backed us with their valuable knowledge and experience.

Avantages :

Mentornity is an excellent platform to easily get in touch with highly respected and expert mentors. You can quickly setup a meeting with available registered mentors (which are very high in numbers depending on the institution). We are using Mentornity for approximately 2 years and never faced any bugs or problems so far. You can conduct your meetings either face-to-face or through their embedded online video chat application. Mentorship is a great deal especially for the early startups and Mentornity is an excellent platform for reaching qualified mentors.

Inconvénients :

In my honest opinion, I never faced any negative aspect of this software. To be specific, when installed and used properly, As an institution (For example an incubation center), you are good to go for generating a great hub connecting your mentors/advisors and your startups.

A Great Product for Startups-Mentors-Corporates-Network

Avantages :

I met with Mentornity via my incubation center. It was very easy to schedule a mentor meeting and follow up on it. Even after my incubation period is over, I still check Mentornity nearly every day!

Inconvénients :

It had some bugs before. However, since last year, they improved everything and it works flawlessly for us.

Re-inventing the wheel; not the most user-friendly solution

Commentaires : Some solutions are re-implemented e.g. teleconferencing and scheduling, some others are linked via APIs e.g. calendar. Strives to be an All-in-one solution for specific needs e.g. accelarators, networking, hackathons etc. but applicaitons might be limited. Combined with the learning curve, many times my appointments/meetings had to improvise for alternatives to communicate outside the platform via traditional methods (email, Skype, Doodle etc.)

Avantages :

All-in-one solution Software hub Strives towards user-friendliness

Inconvénients :

Re-implementing solutions that other software does better e.g. teleconferencing, appointments Might be redundnant Still not the most user-friendly solution

Simple UX & fast outcome !

Commentaires : I actually love it ! I'm fan of using both mobile and desktop (pretty much on mobile browser), so happy to have it. Booked it, messaged over it, followed, probably I used all features.

Avantages :

It has superb clear UX that you never be lost! You just choose and book your mentor's available slots in seconds, that's what most people want it. It also follows you to make your review after mentor meetings and never get you bored & disturbed.

Inconvénients :

To be honest there is no major thing to say on. However, I believe we can only sort mentors by name, not for date? Sometimes, we need just an "anybody" to discuss some details, 3rd party eye on some specific projects. At this point, we just need a mentor that available on certain day. Maybe you can think to listing page can be sort as date.

Perfection

Avantages :

As a startup co-transformed into, I could easily reach my couch through this product. We can schedule meetings, see our couch with their skills, connect with other startups and so on.

Inconvénients :

There isnt any cons with it. Excellent user experienced Web site.
