How a Mentor Can Help Your Tech Startup

Here are a few ways in which finding a mentor can vastly improve the chances of success for your start-up.

• Mentors have walked in your shoes already and know where you are going. A high-quality mentor who has already succeeded in your niche is going to provide with an invaluable relationship heading forward because of their expertise and experience.
• Focusing on critical business issues is the exact reason why you would want to employ a mentor. You wouldn't want to find a mentor who is going to provide fluff and be a cheerleader, a proper mentor will be granular in their understanding of your market and can provide you with key insider ideas.
• Mentors give you honest feedback about your ideas and how your company may perform in the market you're aiming at. They aren't going to tell you everything is wonderful if you're making serious flaws; mentors provide a mirror to your business to let you see it for what it is.
• Mentors already have access to people and companies within the industry. With key contacts and doors to open for you, a mentor provides the access your company needs to hit the ground running.
• Mentors have a system that has already been shown to work in your niche. Simply follow their plans, with a few tweaks to make it your own, and you'll already be on the road to success with a proper mentor.
