How mentorship works
01
Apply & verify
Submit your application with your expertise, background, and what kinds of projects excite you. We review every application personally.
02
Team review
The ideakicks team evaluates your profile and verifies your credentials. We're selective — quality over quantity.
03
You get matched
When a creator needs your exact expertise, we assign you. You don't hunt for projects — the right ones come to you.
04
Work with purpose
Engage with your assigned creator through the ideakicks platform. We facilitate, you guide.
Once assigned
High impact. Low friction.
We handle the logistics, scheduling, and matching. You focus entirely on sharing your expertise and guiding founders to success.

Campaign review
ideakicks assigns you to review creator applications before launch. Provide honest feedback on positioning, storytelling, and pricing.
Guided sessions
Regular video or async sessions with your assigned creator, coordinated through the ideakicks platform around their specific challenges.
Strategic advice
Help creators navigate critical decisions — product, pricing, go-to-market. Your real-world experience, applied where it matters.
Who we're looking for
You don't need a TED talk or a bestselling book. You need experience, honesty, and a genuine interest in someone else's success.
Experienced founders
You've launched, grown, or exited a company. You know what's actually hard.
Industry practitioners
Marketing, engineering, design, finance, legal — deep expertise in a specific domain.
Domain specialists
Sustainability, hardware, music, food, fashion. Niche knowledge that generalists can't provide.
Operators and builders
People who've hired, managed teams, navigated supply chains, run operations.
