What do you dream of learning to be, to do? Have you tried learning new skills and wanted someone to mentor you? Our mentors are like private tutors and personal coaches to help you learn new skills and achieve your dreams.

Or maybe youre an expert in your field, and you want to give back, to help others. Or maybe you want to build your reputation as a rockstar pro. If you want to mentor others on what you know how to do, youve come to the right place.

With GoHero you can both learn from and mentor other people globally. GoHero lets you connect with others around shared interests from coding/engineering, design, entrepreneurship, marketing getting jobs, career advice and more.

With GoHero you can learn new skills from experts via 1-1 mentoring. You can also share your expertise and help others out, and soon, earn virtual currency in the process!

How it Works:
The GoHero platform harnesses technology for good and makes effective education available to everyone, regardless of geography or income. The platform enables exchange via text, images, and soon, video and VR/MR.

Individuals join GoHero to offer mentorship or to find a mentor for the subject matter of their choice (e.g. basic coding or learning a foreign language, just as two examples).

Were in beta now, soon, new users will earn 10,000 “GoHero Coins” for signing up which they can use to pay for mentoring. They can earn more coins by completing activities to help GoHero become more effective (filling out a profile, answering
user surveys, acting as brand ambassadors, etc.), as well as becoming mentors themselves.

The GoHero coin can also be earned by participating in corporate campaigns. GoHero’s data-driven, smart-matching
technology will soon be able to pair appropriate mentors with mentees.

Each mentor’s time is valued the same and the cost of engagement is equal per session regardless of the subject matter. This creates a level playing field so all subjects and experts are available to everyone, regardless of their
starting point.

Mentors can use the GoHero Coins they earn for mentoring to pay for mentorship in a subject of their choice. They can also gift the coins to other individuals or invest them in corporate
campaigns.

Corporations can get involved by sponsoring campaigns related to their CSR initiatives (e.g. a campaign to help inner city kids learn coding).
