A Latin American mentorship platform that connects job seekers with professional mentors — and the AI matching engine underneath it.

The thesis

Careers in Latin America turn on access to people who've already walked the path. MentorHood (mentorhoodlatam.com) is a marketplace that makes that access a product — connecting job seekers with independent mentors, coaches, and experts across professional growth, relocation, and lifestyle, plus a jobs funnel, an education product, and high-touch 1:1 programs. A companion program, MentorOS, helps existing experts package and monetize their experience as structured mentorship.

What I do here

I'm COO and co-founder — the execution side. I run operations day to day: the MentorOS program and curriculum, the mentor cohorts (onboarding, content, session prep), the mentor-verification system, user migration and email nurture, event logistics, and the manual outreach I use to validate a strategy by hand before I automate it. And I build a lot of the internal tooling myself in Claude Code — my marketing approach is openly modeled on the "one-person growth marketer using AI to build their own tools" idea.

What's built

Where it stands

A live product with paying users. The matching engine is in production and woven into the platform; the active work is conversion, automation, and growing the cohorts.
