But where can you build this network of folks you can depend on? And how do you know if you need a mentor or an advisor? And where do you even start figuring out the type of person you should contact? 

This panel will dive into all of these questions and more, including: 

  • What qualities should you look for in a potential mentor or advisor? 
  • How do you initiate a conversation once you have identified a potential mentor or advisor? 
  • Are there any red flags you should keep in mind when looking to build out your mentorship circle? 
  • And what are the best practices for managing a relationship with your mentors and advisors that respects their knowledge while also respecting your autonomy as a founder?

And much more! Come armed with those questions - and your notebooks!
