What are the best ways to get in touch with a mentor ?<p>For anybody who's about to rush into creating their own startup, or for those who have recently startup it, it's always a good idea to benefit from tips, experience, network, inspiration, encouragement, energy from someone who has been through kind of the same thing.<p>So how have you meet your mentor ?
There's another thread going on with the same question:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9400288" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9400288</a><p>Some of the answers there are very interesting.<p>As for myself, I got a chance to help a local body of entrepreneurs to organize their meetup events. Working closely with them has helped me make more meaningful relationships than formal mentorship/advice requests to strangers.
