Already shared this somewhere else but my thoughts remain the same: I think there’s no need to have such a clear distinction between mentors and mentees in a platform that should be focused on connections, because anyone can mentor since they can be at different stages, so that model on its own already prevents it from paying it forward. Structured forms of mentorship, tutoring & coaching (yes they’re different) already exist, why not create a place where everyone can connect with each other without the pressure of adding labels such as mentors and mentees. That’s what genuine connections are all about in my opinion.
