Company mission

Mentorcam's mission is to democratize mentorship and personalized advice.

Our take

Mentorcam is a company allowing users to purchase personalised mentorship videos via their mobile-based platform. Users can submit a question to one of Mentorcam’s raft of online professionals, and buy a response to be delivered within 24 hours.

Whilst the 2019-founded company is still relatively new, they have secured a number of mentors across a broad range of industries - and a place in the S2021 Y-Combinator funding cycle. They are currently building out their team and product, so where this strong start will lead remains to be seen.

With a concept quite similiar to Cameo, Mentorcam have chosen to mirror this revenue model, taking a 25% cut of all site transactions. The question will be whether Cameo’s business model can be mapped onto a mentorship service with similar success. Mentoring regularly polls well as an idea, but people note that it is often hard to access - so Mentorcam may be on the way to opening up a whole new market.
