Advice you'll read on a blog isn't personalized for you, a mentorship call is.
STARTUP PITCHES
"My startup visa application was approved largely because of my mentors help"
"I had to deliver a 5 minute pitch for my early stage startup as a part of a Startup Visa application process, and I had zero pitching experience. My mentor walked me through the whole process from zero to a pitch plan with all key details. "
Artëm Smirnov -Co-founder at flyent.online
CONVERSION RATE AUDITS
"We increased our book a demo conversion rates by 300% in one month"
"Our homepage conversion rate was steady at around 1% for months. After implementing the copy treatments suggested by Lucas Mondora after our 30 minute call and an excel review sheet, we tripled it to 3% after one month."

CAREER MENTORSHIP
"I got my new job as Head of Growth thanks to guidance from my mentors"
"I had to do a short growth marketing audit for SatisMeter.com as part of a last test to become their Head of Growth. I spoke to 3 x growth mentors with VP Growth experience who coached me on how to smash the audit."
Jan Kuzel - Head of Growth at Satismeter.com
REALTIME HELP WITH ADS
"Solved in 20 minutes what I had spent two days struggling with"
I had been struggling with a Facebook Ads issue for two days, trying to figure out why we weren't having any conversions. Twenty minutes with Foti and we figured out the problem. Awesome experience, can only recommend it to everyone.
