What do I get with GrowthMentor membership?

1 min read Updated recently

GrowthMentor is a subscription, not a per-session marketplace. One flat membership fee gets you unlimited access to 600+ vetted startup and growth mentors. Around 80% of mentors are free to book at any time, so you can book them as often as the 3-active-queue allows without paying per call.

What's included

  • Unlimited 1:1 video calls with free mentors, 30 minutes each, 3 in the queue at a time, then rinse and repeat
  • AI matching that surfaces the three best-fit mentors for your specific challenge
  • Browse and filter by skill, industry, tool, language, and availability
  • Help Requests: post a challenge and let mentors apply to you
  • Recording + AI summary of every session, with mentor opt-in
  • Private Slack community of 3,000+ members for real-time Q&A
  • City Squads: in-person meetups with members in your city
  • Onboarding call with our team for mentor suggestions, plus live-chat support whenever you need it

One fee, every mentor

You pay for access, not per call. Membership is $85/mo billed quarterly ($255 per quarter) or $50/mo billed annually ($600 per year, save 41%). Both plans unlock the same thing: every mentor, unlimited 30-minute 1:1 sessions. When a mentor does set a rate (only some do, after they've earned reviews), that fee goes straight to the mentor. GrowthMentor takes no commission. See membership and plans for the current pricing.

The 14-day money-back guarantee

There is no free trial: you join, you pay, and the guarantee covers you. Take your first call, and if it isn't worth it, you get a full refund within 14 days of joining. How refunds work.

What members typically use it for

Pricing strategy, paid acquisition audits, go-to-market planning, fundraising feedback, hiring decisions, founder sounding boards. Most engaged members average 3.6 sessions per month. See average usage.

How many calls can I expect to do? With membership you are able to continually book calls with mentors listed as free. We do have a rule that you can only have three active calls in the queue at one time. We didn't always have a queue and things got pretty messy. People would book irresponsibly and then want to cancel …
