MentorSheep - A mentoring platform I built after struggling to find guidance for my master’s

At the time, I decided that if I got the chance, I’d help other students who were in the same position.

AI 分析

痛点:想申请留学/硕士的学生很难找到有经验的人一对一咨询,现有导师平台抽佣25–30%且还收订阅费,导致学生和导师双方成本过高。

目标用户:准备申请硕士/留学的学生,以及愿意付费咨询的导师和有相关经验的高年级学生/职场人。

证据:Some of the options I found took around 25–30% in commission, with subscription costs on top. For me, it was too much. ... But people still wanted to talk to me.

变现:采用低抽佣或免抽佣的预约付费模式,向导师收取轻量订阅费/展示推广费,或向学生提供增值服务(文书反馈、申请规划包、优先匹配)。

MVP:两周内做一个垂直留学导师预约MVP:导师资料与认证、按小时预约、支付/分账、评价体系,先聚焦一个学校或地区(如卢森堡/欧洲硕士申请)冷启动。

竞品:MentorCruise、ADPList、Clarity.fm、Superpeer、Preply

摘要:发帖人申请硕士时给多人发消息无人回复,后来做了100多个YouTube视频仍有学生想一对一咨询。他发现现有导师平台抽佣约25–30%且额外收订阅费,于是做了免平台佣金的MentorSheep。需求信号真实,但双边市场和信任/供给冷启动是主要难点。
