Inspiration

A lot of people are on LinkedIn with no intention of genuinely growing their network or helping someone else out. By taking 5 minutes out of your day to give back, you could change the trajectory of where someone is heading; nevertheless, thousands of people ignore messages every day from ambitious individuals that are trying to improve themselves.

What it does

The concept of this app is that it helps mentees find mentors for any subject that they are interested in improving in. Whether it be learning how to program or learning how to land an internship at a FAANG company, this app bridges the gap by pairing services to the individual. The mentor may offer services for free in which their profile will be tagged with "philanthropy" or they can charge their own rate (and can allow the mentee to negotiate a fair price that they can afford)
