Mento | LinkedIn

in a sentence

Mento is a career care platform that provides support and resources for individuals to better manage their careers, salaries, and daily work

  • resources: on-demand content, workshops, tools, and guides

bulleted version: leave the coca cola at home; Mento’s resources help you avoid a career explosion 🍬🥤🌋

the basics

due diligence

what we like

  • 🗣 personalized guidance: it’s difficult to find go-to resources for decisions like changing careers, asking for a promotion, and starting a business

  • 🧠 career/mental health: mental health struggles in the workplace are increasing 

    • coaching and resources allow individuals to be proactive and reactive to their career wellness

  • we could all use a mentor: Mento is making interpersonal career guidance accessible

    • 76% of people claim having a mentor is important, yet only 37% of people have mentors 

potential risks

  • catering to a large audience: Mento must target people at all stages of employment

    • whether they’re between jobs, out of work, or working full-time

  • B2C vs. B2B: while it’s great that anyone can sign up for the product, the real money comes from enterprise customers

  • 📈scaling: the company hires executive coaches and experienced professionals as mentors

    • finding quality coaches is expensive, timely, and limited in supply
