About us.
What started as a one-man band, a phone, and a landing page in 2019, has grown into a thriving community of business owners and leaders, connected through our own, custom-built platform.
Our vision
For everyone in the world to have access to the advice and guidance they need, and to give anyone with the right motivations, attributes, and expertise the opportunity to give back.
Our mission
Create a vibrant, global online community where anyone in the world can access one-to-one advice, personal to them, from vetted, expert mentors and coaches.
How it all started
In 2019 my first business failed.
I was gutted, because I felt that if I’d had access to the advice and guidance I’d been seeking, I wouldn’t have made the bad decision I made that ultimately led to the failure of the business.
But as one door closes, another one opens.
And I decided to create a business that makes it easy for people to connect with the advice and guidance they need.
MentorConnex is a service marketplace.
‘Marketplace’, because we bring together business owners and professionals looking for advice on one side, and experienced mentors and coaches on the other.
‘Serviced’ because we join the dots. Vetting all the experts, helping both sides get the perfect match, and making it easy to connect through our one-of-a-kind platform.
So if you’re looking to connect with a mentor or coach to help you succeed sooner, we’re here to help.

Fun Fact: I can re-watch a movie I like, over and over and over and over again. Lost count how many times I’ve watched Back to the Future.
Why MentorConnex matters to me: The day when my daughter asks me “what do you do for a living daddy?”, then I want to be able to tell her that I help people reach their aspirations and to make a difference.
