How It Works – Sandbox Mentor

How It Works

From idea to investor-ready—in 3 simple steps

We’ve stripped away the chaos of startup building. Here’s how Sandbox Mentor fast-tracks your success:

Step 1

Match with Your Ideal Mentor

No generic advice—just actionable guidance

  • Tell us your needs (idea stage, industry, goals)
  • Get matched in 48 hours with a mentor who’s:
    • Been there: Scaled startups in your space
    • Done that: Raised funding, built MVPs, or exited
  • Meet weekly via video calls + async support
“Our mentor helped us pivot from B2C to B2B—saving 6 months of wasted work.”
