GrowthMentor is a curated mentorship marketplace built for startup founders, growth marketers, product managers, and operators who want fast, practical advice from people who have already solved the problems they are facing. For a flat monthly membership fee, members can book one-on-one video calls with hundreds of vetted mentors covering topics like growth strategy, product-market fit, fundraising, go-to-market, sales, and marketing operations. Most mentors offer their time for free within the platform, making high-caliber expertise accessible to bootstrapped and early-stage teams.
The company was founded by growth marketer Foti Panagiotakopoulos after experiencing the frustration of learning growth through trial and error and ad‑hoc consultations. GrowthMentor started as a simple way to schedule calls with experienced practitioners and has grown into a global community with tens of thousands of mentorship sessions completed, 750+ vetted mentors, and an active Slack community. The product has evolved from basic scheduling into a full mentorship workflow with AI-powered matching, built‑in video rooms, session recordings, and personalized growth roadmaps.
GrowthMentor is fully bootstrapped and operates as a lean, remote-first team headquartered in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, with team members distributed globally. The platform focuses on single-session engagements rather than long-term “coach” relationships, encouraging mentees to talk to different specialists for each challenge they face. This gives users access to a wide range of domain expertise instead of relying on a single generalist coach.
In the mentorship and talent market, GrowthMentor sits between traditional consulting and more formal enterprise mentoring software. Compared to hiring consultants or coaches by the hour, it offers far lower, predictable costs and flexibility; compared to enterprise mentoring suites, it prioritizes speed to insight, breadth of mentors, and ease of use for individual operators and small teams. The company has also begun expanding into adjacent offerings such as fractional growth talent while keeping mentorship at the core of its value proposition.
