Questions & Answers
Short answers to common questions and objections.
You can store a list there. MentorDeck reduces the ongoing coordination burden and makes engagement visible (scheduling flows, feedback, reporting, integrations).
Mentor participation is designed to be lightweight: a simple profile, optional calendar connection, and meetings when they choose. Programs keep the experience private and curated.
Start with your top mentors and one cohort or portfolio group. You can expand your directory and tags over time without reworking the system.
Lists are static. MentorDeck is a workflow: discovery (tags), private access, booking flows, feedback, and reporting — so usage goes up and admin work goes down.
No. It works well anywhere you’re coordinating mentoring or office hours: VC platform teams, universities, EDOs/chambers, and ecosystem programs.
No. Mentors can keep their existing habits. MentorDeck is designed to stay lightweight for mentors while making discovery + coordination easier for participants and program staff.
MentorDeck is invite-first: you can run private directories for cohorts/portfolios, control roles, and keep access limited to the groups you choose.
Yes. Your deck lives on its own URL and supports program branding like name and logo so it feels native to your community.

Yes. MentorDeck supports Slack integration so participants can discover mentors and take action in the tools they already use.
Yes. MentorDeck supports connecting Zoom and Google so mentors can run meetings on their preferred provider.
Yes. There are API endpoints for mentors and bookings so you can integrate MentorDeck with your stack when needed.
Paid plans include all features with no per-user fees — unlimited mentors and meetings, plus engagement analytics and program workflows.
Participants self-serve discovery via tags and profiles. Instead of coordinating every match, your team curates the directory and lets people find the right mentor directly.
Keep profiles lightweight so updating is easy. Start with the minimum viable info (bio + tags) and improve over time — the system is designed for incremental adoption.
Tags and searchable profiles reduce guesswork. You can also standardize categories (e.g., GTM, fundraising, hiring) so the right options are obvious.
MentorDeck supports booking workflows and includes reschedule/cancel flows to reduce back-and-forth while keeping both sides informed.
Yes. With visibility into activity, you can spot overbooked mentors and gaps, then adjust tags, add mentors, or guide participants toward underutilized experts.
MentorDeck makes engagement visible: meetings, activity, and feedback. That turns “we think it’s working” into something you can report.
Yes. MentorDeck includes follow-up feedback flows so you can measure quality and continuously improve mentor/program fit.
Yes. You can export program data (e.g., mentors/engagement) for reporting, audits, or downstream analysis.
Yes. MentorDeck supports embeddable mentor cards so you can distribute profiles anywhere your participants already go.
That’s the recommended path. Start with one cohort and your top mentors, validate usage, then expand your directory, tags, and workflows.
