Founding is lonely, and the hardest calls have no textbook answer. OCTIS matches you with a mentor who has built and scaled a business and can share what worked, what didn't and what they'd do differently. Regular one-to-one sessions give you perspective, honest challenge and someone in your corner.
Matched mentor: We pair you with a mentor whose experience fits your industry, stage and the challenges you face.
Regular 1:1 sessions: Standing one-to-one conversations to think through what's on your mind, on a rhythm that suits you.
Honest challenge: A mentor who asks the hard questions and tells you what you need to hear, not what's comfortable.
Scaling guidance: Lessons on hiring, delegating and building structure as you grow past doing everything yourself.
Founder resilience: Support for the personal side of founding — burnout, doubt, tough decisions and keeping perspective.
Practical introductions: Where useful, your mentor opens doors and points you to people who can help you move faster.

Frequently asked
How is the price worked out?
Mentorship is quote-based on session frequency and the level of support you want. We run lean across OCTIS and pass the savings on. Talk to our expert for a tailored quote.
How is my mentor chosen?
We match on industry, stage and the challenges you're facing, so your mentor's experience is genuinely relevant. If the fit isn't right, we'll rematch you.
Is this the same as business advisory?
They complement each other. Advisory focuses on specific decisions backed by your numbers; mentorship is a longer-term, personal relationship for perspective, growth and the founder journey itself.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes. Your mentorship conversations are private — a safe space to be honest about what's really going on in the business and with you as a founder.
