What does a mentor do?

Mentors help teams scope work, make better product decisions, review weekly submissions, give practical feedback, and prepare portfolio-ready outcomes.

How much time does mentoring take?

Most mentor roles run for eight remote weeks and take about 3-4 hours per week across review sessions, async feedback, and key sprint checkpoints.

Do mentors need teaching experience?

No. You are closer to a team lead than a lecturer: you help builders navigate ambiguity, improve their craft, and understand what strong work looks like.

How are mentors matched?

We match mentors with participants in the same discipline, so product managers guide PMs, designers guide designers, and engineers guide engineers.

Is mentoring paid?

Some mentor roles include compensation depending on cohort format and scope. We confirm expectations, time commitment, and any stipend before you commit.
