Alex is a great startup mentor. His many years of experience working at startups, founding, and launching them is incredibly useful for mentoring startup founders. Alex knows a lot about building great cofounding teams, making a good impression as a founder, and validating a startup idea. He has helped me narrow down and discover more clearly my startup’s niche, as well as validate the business idea. His guidance also helped me improve my website and landing page, not only through its better design but also in its ’selling language’. I feel more confident approaching customers now, and this is all after about only 1 month of mentoring with Alex. I also learned to create a waitlist for my startup and signed up more than 50 people. His knowledge in startup strategy has helped me make better marketing decisions, including email, Instagram, and Facebook. As a bonus, although he claims otherwise, Alex has good ‘design’ knowledge as well (not only for our website but also on social media posts). If you’re a mentee willing to put in the work (often hard work, like leaving your home to solicit potential customers face-to-face) ask the right questions, and listen to Alex’s advice, I recommend Alex and believe that he can be a great fit for your personal growth as a startup founder.
