Finding a mentor
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2702024for the past several weeks (as I was approaching my summer vacation) I've been looking for a mentor.
Besides putting an ad in my newspaper, asking my friends, and even visiting an old folks home I have been unable to find a mentor and don't know what else to do.
I've been looking for a mentor who has experience just sort of with experience growing a technology company. I'm 18 and would love some direction towards my ideas, thoughts, and personal development. Besides my thirst to grow startups, I already do website design/development consultation on the side, I have developed a microapp for launch soon, and I was even class president for my graduating year this year. I know I have what it takes.
the issue with finding a mentor is just, its hard finding someone with experience in the game and who won't, essentially, steal your ideas. I also feel a lot of the candidates might not be in the loop either.
I'd even be willing to offer a cut based on my success, I have what it takes. Its just a little direction doesn't hurt. I have no one in my family with experience in the tech scene and stuff. Where else can I look guys?
