Ask humans. Not bots.

Stop asking ChatGPT. When your idea is at stake, ask for advice from those who have already done business.

Why founders trust mentor4idea

We select real founders and investors — not consultants pretending to be mentors.Each one is personally invited based on proven experience, so every session brings actionable, honest advice.

How we choose them:

Entrepreneurial experience

They have started startups or companies with at least €100K in revenue, or received investments from VCs or business angels (not just FFF) exceeding €100K.

Vertical or corporate seniority

They have over 20 years of experience in key roles within multinationals, or work in scale-ups or highly specialized sectors

Track record as investors

They have invested in startups with amounts exceeding €100K, operating as business angels or VCs.

Relevant network in their sector

They are well connected in the startup ecosystem or their reference industry, and able to open doors.

What makes them different:

They're not here to sell you something

Each of them already has their own activities and are not interested in finding new clients.

They'll give you practical advice, not theoretical

There are plenty of theoretical courses out there for learning to be entrepreneurs. We are different: among our mentors you can find entrepreneurs who will give you only practical advice, based on their own personal experience.

They're not consultants disguised as Mentors

There are plenty of fake mentors out there who just want to sell you their paid services. But do they really have the skills to help you? Have they ever done business?

Stop waiting. Start learning.

Don't waste time. Talk today with those who have already done what you want to do.

Your project deserves the right support to grow.

"Your mentor Alessandro helped me find and clarify my business model and identify new paths. Without his help, my project likely would not have survived."

Vincent Venezia

Vincent Venezia

CEO, Acme Startup

"I was at a position less-than developer-I made one of the best decisions in last year by deciding to connect with Alessandro. I would describe our interaction in one word: buonsenso, I made Alessandro is guidance gave me clarity and confidence. I feel sincere, grateful and fortunate!"

Alessandro Baldazzi

Co-Founder, MyMate

"I called a mentor D'Iglio | connected with Riccardo over a call that ended up being very clear and practical. He gave us essential principles on validating our idea and turning our market. After then call, we decided to rethink our approach and target a very different customers segment."

Giuseppe Cela
