The problem
Revenue is the number every startup program wants to see grow, and the one founders least like to talk about when it stalls.
A pipeline that stopped moving in March usually shows up in the final report in June. By then the program is ending, and nobody can help.
How organizations usually handle it
Programs ask for a monthly spreadsheet or hold quarterly reviews. Those collect numbers, but too rarely to catch a bad month, and founders tend to report the good news.
How mentoring solves it
A mentor who has built a sales team knows what a stuck pipeline looks like. In a short, regular conversation, a vague worry about sales becomes one concrete thing to try this week, and next time they look at whether it worked.
How it works on Mentornity
A weekly pulse
Each week, founders answer one question: how did the week go, from 1 to 5. They can also ask the program team for help.
An early warning list
Two hard weeks, or an open request for help, puts the startup on your team's list, so someone can step in.
Unit Economics
Founder and mentor work out what one customer costs and brings in, so growth plans rest on real numbers.
Monthly figures
Founders enter revenue, customers and team each month; financial figures only with consent.
What you can measure
Your team sees the weekly pulse across all startups, who asked for help, and how revenue and customers changed month by month.
Questions
Is the weekly pulse a long form?
No. It is one question, scored from 1 to 5, with an optional request for help.
Who sees the founders' revenue?
Financial figures are entered with consent. Founders choose whether to share them with their mentor, and funder reports show money only in ranges.
