A good mentor can help drive a startup in the correct
direction and at a good pace. So how do we find this mentor for our startup?
Networking:
Entrepreneurs must frequent startup/industry networking events. Interacting
with people in such events is one of the best ways to find someone who can show
interest in your startup and in mentoring you in the same. Always try to stay
till the very end when you get a better chance to have a more detailed
discussion with the other attendees.
Communities: Find
communities of people which relate to the sector you are working in. For
example in Beveragewala, I joined a Tea Tasting Community where I was able to
meet a lot senior guys from the Tea Industry.
Online: You have
some online networks which one can join to find a mentor. Also joining social
media groups and identifying people there can be a good option.
In
all the above, we must realize identifying a mentor and then selling your story
to him/her is key. Finding the right mentor can prove very beneficial for your
business.
