Your people already want to help each other.
We are working with a small number of organizations while Mentable is young. They get our attention, and they shape what gets built.
Three things, in order.
We understand the people in your community
Not a directory of job titles. What someone is trying to work out, what they have already done, and who they tend to be useful to, in their own words.
We show who should meet, and why
Every suggestion arrives with the sentence that explains it, built from what both people wrote. You can disagree with a reason. A score gives you nothing to disagree with.
We help the relationship last
The introduction is the easy part. Preparation before, next steps after, and somewhere the history lives so the second conversation starts where the first ended.
What a relationship looks like over a year.
Both sides get something at every step. That is what keeps a mentor answering the fifth email.
Introduced
The reason is shown to both before either says yes.
First conversation
Both arrive with something to cover.
A shared goal
Written down, so it is not re-litigated every month.
The mentee becomes a mentor
The loop closes.
Five things, and only what is live.
Anything still being built is absent rather than softened into "coming soon", which reads as a roadmap and gets remembered as a promise.
- Activate
- Invite mentors and members into one place by link, with a record of who was asked and who accepted. Applications, matching and the state of every relationship live in the same place, so following up means reading a list rather than rebuilding one.
- Explainable matches
- Every suggestion carries the sentence that explains it, built from what both people wrote about themselves. Rule based, with weights we set by hand, and you can disagree with any of them.
- The whole relationship
- Matching is the easy part. Mentable carries the introduction, the scheduling, the preparation on both sides, the next steps and the history of what was agreed.
- Built for your rules
- A mentor who sets two mentees never gets a third. Who can be matched with whom, and who appears in discovery, follow your organization rather than our defaults.
- Growth you can see
- Counts, not content. Who joined, who was matched, how many conversations happened, which relationships have gone quiet, and what both sides said afterwards. Exportable.
What admins can and cannot see.
Enough to run a program well, and nothing that would stop two people speaking freely. The second column is not a setting left switched off. It is access the software does not provide.
Can see
- Who is taking part, and who has not joined yet.
- Who has been matched, and who is still waiting.
- How many conversations have happened.
- Which relationships have gone quiet.
- What both sides said about the program afterwards.
Cannot see
- Messages between a mentor and a student.
- Preparation notes either person wrote.
- Meeting notes brought in from a note-taking app.
- Anything said in a conversation.
Questions we get.
- What does Mentable do with AI today?
- Matching is rule based. It compares what two people wrote about themselves, applies weights we set by hand, and shows you the reason behind every suggestion. There is no trained model and no score: if we cannot explain a match in a sentence, we do not make it.
- How do meeting notes work?
- Mentable does not record or transcribe anything. If a member already takes notes in their own note-taking app, Granola today, they can bring those notes into a relationship, read them privately, and decide whether to share them with the other person. Your organization turns this on, and it is off until you do.
- Who is responsible for recording consent?
- You are, because you know your members and we do not. Before we turn meeting notes on for an organization, an owner or admin confirms they are responsible for verifying who their members are and for making sure anyone recording a conversation has the consent their policy and the law require.
- What does it cost?
- There is no price list on this page. We would rather hear what you are trying to do first, and then be straight with you about what it would cost.
Tell us about your community.
A pilot is a conversation, not a signup. Tell us who your people are and we will tell you whether this fits.
