Any other mentor programs out there like Y combinator startup school?

Are there any other programs like startup school out there that I could sign up to? Preferably ones that don't have like a million dollar fee or something haha Something that would at least give me a little guidance?

    I've been called! I run mentorcruise.com, which offers its fair share of experienced business/startup mentors at a very fair price.

    There's pioneer.app, which has a lot of similarities with Startup School but that's more peer-based overall. You can get advice from experienced people on there though, and I think you can direct mentorship if you win the tournament.

      I highly recommend it. We were recently selected as winners and what you get in exchange for 1% equity is well worth it.

      Just doing the tournament part is great too. The leaderboard and weekly updates is really motivating.

      Yeahhh I recently saw that and now I'm looking at it more. Looks actually really promising haha

    Happy to talk through it if this interests you.

    Technically I do coaching and mentoring for founders and startups: https://Cubitoo.com — check the blog and mentoring platform which are free 😁

    I'm offering one-to-one startup coaching at https://hitstartup.com but only via email, for those who like to work asynchronously.

        Thanks, I do. Not to sound condescending, but I'm just practicing what I preach -

    Hey @ngrant123. I am building something in this area with Startup Sanctuary. Let me know if you'd like to have a quick chat. More than happy to help in any way I can.

      Yeah sure that'd be great. Where can I reach you to talk to you? LinkedIn?

        You can send me an email at gordon@startupsanctuary.com ;)

    What are you looking to get that you didn't get out of Startup School?

      I'm currently doing it right now and its fine but I just want to keep my options open and receive guidance from multiple sources if thats possible. You get what I'm saying?
