Summary
GrowthMentor, founded by Foti Panagiotakopoulos, is a platform offering personalized mentorship calls with experienced growth mentors, primarily targeting growth marketers, product managers, founders, and startup veterans.

The platform was launched with the vision of easing the learning curve for professionals in similar fields.

Approach to kick off
The platform started by addressing the loneliness and challenges in the growth journey, emphasizing personal interaction and advice tailored to specific needs and workflows, a contrast to passive content consumption.
