Clarity Launches Mobile Mentorship Service To Connect Startup Founders With Good Advice

I often hear people say they moved to San Francisco and Silicon Valley to be in the thick of things -- to open themselves up to the chance of meeting a new mentor at the local coffee shop, or being able to pitch a top venture capitalist during a chance elevator encounter. A new company called Clarity wants to help provide that service to founders no matter where they are. Launching to the public today, Clarity provides a marketplace that hooks up phone calls between entrepreneurs and potential mentors such as successful businesspeople and venture capitalists. The advice givers can either talk for free or set a price for their time, and Clarity lets them either keep that money or donate it to a charity of their choice.
