Hey product hunters. Usually, the best places to meet a business mentor are industry events, conferences, and networking gatherings where professionals and entrepreneurs gather to share knowledge and experiences.

In my opinion, it’s usually your manager or a professor! I think it’d be pretty hard to meet a mentor at a conference or networking event. You can ask for follow up meetings from those, maybe ask them to be advisors and convert that to mentorship! We have a ton of advisors for our burnout prevention app (Burnout Bot! Launching today - just 30 mins left!) and they’ve been super helpful in thought partnership there!

Antler.co or just asking people on Linked in. Most won't say no.

https://www.growthmentor.com/ is quite good.
You can also try to connect with mentors directly on Linkedin. Hashtag feeds are a nice way to identify influential people in some niche.
For me it was graduate school. Otherwise, at networking events, particularly those where it doesn't feel too forced.
