Summary

This platform aims to modernize mentorship by making it easy and accessible for growth-minded workers to find skilled industry mentors who can guide them in achieving their career goals, on their own schedule. The app uses a no-code platform called Bubble, which allows the founder, Erika Gemzer, to build and launch her app quickly and efficiently. With Pocket Board, users can search for mentors, read their profiles, and book sessions that fit their schedule, with the option to become a mentor themselves over time. The app has already seen success, including launching an alpha version with two mentors and 30 bookings in the first month, and achieving an average net promoter score of 10. Erika plans to continue recruiting mentors, particularly in sales professions, to expand the platform's offerings.
