Program Purpose

The Base Mentorship Program connects builders with top operators and investors who have been there before, sharing lessons learned, making introductions, and helping you avoid costly mistakes. Mentors work closely with the Base team to ensure their advice is actionable and aligned with your stage and goals.

​
Base Mentors

Base Mentors are experienced founders, operators, and subject matter experts across key verticals who volunteer their time to support builders in the Base ecosystem. They offer guidance on topics like product strategy, go-to-market, technical architecture, growth, fundraising, and more. We work directly with builders to pair them with the right mentor for their needs.

Program Disclaimer: The Base Mentorship Program is an educational/networking initiative only. Participation does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, an offer or solicitation to buy/sell any security, or an endorsement by Base/Coinbase of any project, token, or investment. Base does not arrange, negotiate, or receive compensation for investments and is not acting as a broker, dealer, or finder. Mentors participate in a personal capacity. If a mentor later chooses to invest in a project, any discussion must occur independently of this program and without Base involvement.
