A real mentor doesn’t charge you. They either invest in you or give advice because they care.

@anne_a2 Although often overlooked, there is a difference between an advisor and a mentor. Advisors can be extremely helpful when a startup has a clear vision of the specific task or process they need assistance with.

The best advice I’ve ever received was free—from people who genuinely wanted to help

Advisors are overrated. If they were so great, why aren’t they building their own startups?
