Hi everyone, I'm working with a few friends on a portal that seeks to provide mentorship for people with disabilities who may not have the resources to find good mentors. here's some more information about this.
The Next Billion is an organization that connects people with disabilities with industry leaders, who can support them professionally with the goal of improving diversity and accessibility in the global community. Through our platform, we connect mentees (people with disabilities) with a mentor (industry leader) that can help guide and foster them to achieve their professional goals – based on their field of expertise, relationship with their particular disability and their personal experience. We will be launching our platform in October 2016 and are looking for advisors, mentors, partners or organizations who would be interested in working with us. We are also taking pre-signups for mentees and mentors, who would be the first ones to try out the platform at launch. We already have several mentors from companies such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and some other financial firms, as well as tie-ups with universities such as Stanford. If you are interested either as a mentee or a mentor, please reach out to me personally off the list.
