This April, AWS and Startup Grind are partnering to bring you Mentorship Month. Mentors provide helpful advice, support, and feedback throughout your startup journey – both during the high times and the low. It's important to find mentors to guide your path and also to be a mentor to others along the way. Over the month, we have been celebrating the importance of mentors and discussing the value mentorship plays in life and work. Join us for the discussion!
