Please describe your proposed solution.

A platform which matches up students and senior catalyst members.

Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

By having access to a mentor, a student can solve certain problems faster. Also a Mentor helps to focus attention and keeps motivated.

What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

Shortage of Mentors

I do not know how available Catalyst members are so it is hard to predict, if there will be enough people willing to volunteer as a Mentor.

I do not have a good solution yet. But I will conduct a small poll shortly.

Quality of Mentoring

Because the actual Mentoring sessions will be private there is little oversight.

My Solution is a scoring system for mentors and a set of rules to follow.

Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

• 2 Months Setting up a Framework to manage and match Students and Mentors
• 2 Catalyst Iterations to test and refine

Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

500$ per month

1000$ per Catalyst Iteration

2x Months

2x Catalyst Iterations

3000$

Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.

If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

Yes after the two test Iterations I will come back if there is demand and participation

Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

• Amount of participating Students and Mentors
• Results of Feedback survey

What does success for this project look like?

A thriving Community of Students and Mentors who inspire each other, get their projects done and maybe build frindships.

Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.

A new one.
