Feedback for my project to help startups build better products

Hi HN, I'm working on a product that helps startups to avoid expensive mistakes in building a company.

Would you mind answering 2 quick questions:

1) In building your startup, did you ever find a need for mentor ? 2) If yes, what kind of mentorship have you benefited from ?

I will personally read every comment and implement your invaluable feedback. -Sateesh

This would be interesting if idea is turned around on existing information on youtube instead of freshly gathering information. Since there is lot of information on youtube to play with.

Pick 'x' 'qualified' videos based on speaker credentials (eg: Sam Altman, Peter Theil, Founders, VCs, Partners etc). Most of these youtube videos take on Q&A or talk types. You can make a 'good' catalogue of all relevant questions asked by interviewer and link to answers provided by each interviewer.

Yes, I sort of did while building Cachoid. But now that I built 1.0, and the further I think about your question, the more I realize I'd have benefited more from the feedback of end users. Does that fall under the mentorship umbrella?
