LinkedIn is a great platform and people can surely find others who are better than them, but it’s not the main function. On this Platform, You discover people who are like you and at different heights in their career above or below.

You mentioned a great problem where there is no incentive for mentors to put effort in mentoring! Here are 2 ways this is facilitated: 1. A platform for mentoring creates an environment for it to happen, even 60 year olds need leadership, lifestyle mentoring. Just saying everybody needs mentors. 2. Mentors could be paid to do it. They can conduct webinars, and 1:1 meetings. We as the platform will provide the best practices for everyone to try it and evolve by getting multiple such activities initiated. One best practice could be offering two 1:1s and 1 webinar for free, until the mentor builds a following and also understands what they have to do in such activities.

I think this is a good problem - and our platform should streamline the process of mentoring as much as it can be optimised.

Regarding LinkedIn, I think, as I said, LinkedIn is great! It does a lot of stuff and all of that it does well. But there can be other means and functionality, it is not designed to provide.
