In the past I've benefited from the Enterprise Ireland mentor scheme ('benefit' is used loosely, as I also found out what can happen if you ignore good advice!). I think I'll be seeking more than giving advice over the next couple of months , but I like the idea of paying (even a token) fee, so that the advice is more valued. Probably also useful time limiting it (e.g. x amount of hours), and after that you're onto more commercial rates. Any thoughts on how to move it on from the ‘nice idea’? stage.

Sometimes you could be giving advice, other times you could be seeking but always in a confidential and supportive way.
