Now onboarding founding mentors

Mentorship, made discoverable.

SparkBudd is a credit-based, personality-driven mentorship platform. Mentees discover verified mentors in two taps. Mentors earn from their expertise without the admin. Trust is built in — KYC, escrow, NDAs and disputes, from day one.

Why SparkBudd

Six choices that change the experience.

Most mentorship platforms are search bars in a trench coat. SparkBudd is opinionated about who you meet, how you meet, and what happens between sessions.

Personality-first matching

A mandatory four-question MBTI quiz feeds the engine. Compatibility sits alongside skills, goals and availability — not behind a paywall.

Two discovery modes

Swipe through real-photo profiles, or browse an AI-curated Recommended list with anonymised avatars until a mutual match.

One prepaid wallet

1 credit = £0.50. Buy once, book any mentor at any length. No surprise charges, no payment friction.

In-session AI agent

Ask SparkBudd for frameworks, templates and reading mid-call. Resources auto-save to an action log that travels with you.

Trust as infrastructure

KYC, escrow, NDAs, the 15-minute refund rule, a 48-hour dispute window and a three-strike system — all live from day one.

A student-first ethos

Verified students access mentors at a flat subsidised rate set by SparkBudd. After every student session, the mentor chooses to keep their share or donate it to the Student Fund — and unlock the Community Mentor badge.

Two surfaces, one product

Phones are for discovery. Desktops are for the conversation.

SparkBudd ships on both — same backend, same wallet, same account. Accounts, action logs and notifications stay in sync in real time.

Mobile app

Thumb-distance discovery, swipe-based matching, quick session check-ins. The entire core journey works one-handed.

  • Browse, accept, join — all from a single screen
  • Swipe and Recommended discovery
  • Push notifications for matches & reminders
  • Mobile-first phone-shell UI

Desktop web app

Designed for the moments where a phone is the wrong tool — primarily the live mentoring sessions themselves.

  • Larger video tile, side-by-side panels
  • Screen-share, document review, slide presentations
  • Mentor admin — calendar, payouts, action log edits
  • Future home for B2B admin & analytics
