I don't know. I suppose the simplest thing way to put it is that I don't know who is the target audience.

My feeling is that the people who could use this are, basically, people who are trying to get their first job as a software developer. They don't have connections in the industry, and they're focused on interview prep.

But is that person really going to sign up for what sounds like fairly expensive one-on-one tutoring sessions? Many people in the industry will answer questions for free, if you just send them an email.

On the other hand, is this service for pros who want long-term career growth? If so, you can charge more but you need a much stronger selling point (e.g. mentors who are known experts that people will sign up for your service to talk to.)

Anyway, in either case I'm outside of the target audience because I'm not interested in mentorship as a service, I prefer to build friendships, mentors, and role models in "real life."

Thanks for such feedback will look into it. Regarding mentorships we have asked many people regarding the problem they face and the they said is getting relevant advice from relevant people. Linkedin messaging has now become of no use. Thus, we built an ecosystem where you can engage and network with your peers. Practice interview and get actionable feedback and that too we track through points. If somehow you can undertand the gist of the platform. The one on one mentoring session is not at all expensive it is very much affordable according to our Indian standard. Also Yes, long term friendship and networking is the best way and that is why built acoto community. Anyway it was nice having conversation with you. Good luck mate.
