Seattle Mentoring LLC was designed to move beyond the 5+ years of volunteer work I did with SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives) after the organization was defunded by the US government in 2025.   I saw that as an opportunity to continue working with startup and early stage growth companies but provide them with a wider range of services than I could at SCORE.  My organization has changed, but my personal mission to provide free mentoring services to my clients has not changed.

 

With a goal of helping you turn your startup into a great company, our approach is focused on balancing the three most important areas of excellence that successful startups all have:

• A product people need,

• An ability acquire customers for well below their lifetime value,

• and a full understanding of how and when you can achieve positive cash flow.

 

A business is like a three legged stool.  If any leg is missing or broken the stool falls over and is unusable until the leg is repaired.  Our team excels at helping you get ready to build an outstanding team and then successfully raise the funds you need to launch your product or service.
