What mentees say
5 out of 5 stars
Žiga has been my mentor for the past month, we´ve talked about growing ART-LI, and he helped me see where I was giving up too early. I’d been treating silence from potential customers as a rejection, when I often needed to follow up or ask better questions. He also challenged my instinct to add more marketing channels before making better use of the ones I already have. I left with a clearer way to think about customer feedback, follow-up, and growth that depends less on me doing everything myself. It was a useful conversation, and I’d recommend speaking with him if you want someone to challenge your assumptions about growing your business.

Ziga has been my Kickstarter mentor for over a year. He has been instrumental in my campaign reaching €600k until now (still 27 days to go). Check out the "Office Walker" project on Kickstarter for more information. I can only recommend working with him.
