Early-career tech and creative workers
Self-taught or bootcamp-trained, needing an honest read on whether the portfolio is ready.

The things people ask first.
Will I be matched with a mentor abroad?
Often, yes. Cross-border matching is the point: it puts you in front of people you would not otherwise reach.
What do I need for the session?
A device, a connection good enough for video, and one clear question.
Is there any charge?
None. Mentees never pay.
