What I can help with
Not generic advice. Your actual project.
Mentoring is centered on the work your team is doing right now — what is weak, what is unclear, what could be stronger, and what you should focus on next.
Pitch & storytelling
Make the project easier to understand, sharpen the story, improve slides and practice communicating the value of the work.
Competition strategy
Prepare for milestones, judge questions, presentations and the practical decisions that matter when competing.
Simple process
Four steps. No back-and-forth chaos.
01
Tell me about it
Send a short request with your team and project details.
02
I review
I look at the request and decide whether I can genuinely help.
03
Book your call
If it looks like a fit, choose an available time for the free intro call.
04
Decide together
After the intro, we can discuss ongoing paid mentorship if it makes sense.
Mentorship
Paid ongoing mentoring
The introductory call is free. If your team wants continued support, we can discuss a paid mentorship arrangement based on the scope and level of support you actually need.
Access matters
Financial aid available
I don't want cost to automatically stop a strong student team from getting useful guidance. Financial aid is available for eligible teams; mention your situation in the request and we can discuss it.
Start here
Request an introductory meeting.
Keep it short. I mainly need enough context to understand who you are, what you're working on and where you want help.
After you submit the request, you'll be able to choose a time for the free introductory call.
Don't have a team or project yet?
That's completely fine. You can still request an intro call if you're looking for teammates, exploring an idea, or simply want to understand whether the Conrad Challenge is right for you.
