Professional Mentorship.

Structured mentorship from experienced engineers and community professionals, for individuals building a career and for companies growing a team.

Two ways to take part.

For individuals

Mentorship Cohort Programme

Join a mentor-led cohort with your own dedicated channel, and build your skills alongside other mentees in shared spaces.

  • Career planning and role transitions
  • Résumé, portfolio and interview preparation
  • Technical guidance and code review
  • Peer support and accountability from your cohort

Best for: developers and community professionals starting out or changing direction.

For companies

Team Onboarding

Ramp up a batch of junior hires with a structured, mentor-led onboarding programme.

  • An onboarding plan shaped around your stack, tools and team
  • Mentor-led technical coaching and code review
  • A practical introduction to open source and community collaboration
  • Progress reporting for managers

Best for: companies bringing on several junior developers at once.

Example projects.

These are rough estimates to help you gauge scale, based on typical projects. They are not quotes, and every project is different. We provide a quote during your introductory meeting, once we understand the scope of your work. Estimates do not include taxes or third-party costs such as hosting and licences.

  • A six-week onramp to your codebase for 3 to 5 junior hiresaround $6,000
  • A maintainer training and code review programme for 4 to 6 maintainersaround $7,500
  • An onboarding roadmap plus a month of mentor-led coachingaround $7,500
  • Individual mentorship, per menteearound $300 a month

Individual mentorship fees are agreed with each mentee, based on their needs, and are stated in the quote and the service agreement.

Your account executive.

For Team Onboarding, your company has a dedicated account executive, who is your liaison with us. They are responsible for delivering the work and for keeping communication clear, and they escalate to Naomi whenever it is needed. For individual mentorship, Naomi is your account executive.

How it is arranged.

The terms for the mentorship programme are published in our documentation. Every engagement is scoped in writing, so you know what is included before work begins.

Start by sending a project enquiry. If it looks like a fit, we schedule a short introductory call to evaluate it, and we do not invoice for that call.

How we work

Clear scope, steady delivery, honest reporting.

  1. Send an enquiry

    Tell us about your community or project. We typically reply within 3 to 5 business days.

  2. Intake call

    If it looks like a fit, we schedule an introductory call at the next available time. We arrange it ourselves, and we do not charge for it.

  3. Quote

    We provide a quote during that meeting, once we understand the scope of your work.

  4. Agreement

    No work begins until a written service agreement is signed. We begin at the start of the contract term.

  5. Delivery

    A dedicated account executive, a weekly update and a single place to ask questions. Confidentiality is included at no cost.

  6. Review

    We look at the results with you, adjust the plan, and decide together whether to continue, change or stop.

Most clients start with one and grow into another.

Community Operations

The day-to-day running of your community, so your team can stay focused on the product.

Community Strategy

A fixed-scope engagement that gives your community structure, policy and direction.

Custom Software

Purpose-built tools, scoped and delivered against clear milestones.

Codebase Cleanup

A one-off refactor of a codebase that was built quickly, so it is easier to maintain, faster and safer to run.
