summary
Community launches repeatable cohorts and skills committees and just finished a first cohort with 300 mentors signed into the mentoring platform, planning another signup round, calls for speakers and skills contributors. Talks show the difference between mentorship vs sponsorship — mentors guide day to day while sponsors advocate for opportunities when someone is not in the room. Examples include building a custom agent to solve a business pain, keeping solutions human centered, and using AI to level entry into tech.
