What it is

Bring one question to your session

You write where your venture is, three numbers and the one question you want answered.

Why it helps

The time goes to your question

A short session goes further when the question is clear.

  • One question specific enough to answer in the time
  • Short is fine a few sentences each
  • Sent before you meet your mentor can read it first

Ten minutes, in two steps

First where you are, then what you want to ask.

Who it is for, the stage and three numbers.

Write your one question

Specific enough to answer in the time.
