Let's say you're one of the hundreds of thousands of solo devs/founders making some money - but less than $1000/month on your SaaS startup.

You don't want VC, you just want growth and the ability to do your startup full-time. Why would someone mentor you in that case? What's the benefit to them?

"paying it forward"? Getting personal satisfaction from helping others? E.g https://www.indiehackers.com/ ? I haven't spent a lot of time there but it seems to be a community of exactly the kind of founders you describe trying to help each other out.

Lots of people simply enjoy helping others when they can.
