Get Mentored by Unicorn Founders through Start a soonami Advisor Program
Imagine having access to someone who has already built, scaled, and exited a company; not a small win, but one worth over US $100 million. Now imagine that person guiding you, helping you navigate decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and accelerate progress.
This isn’t a hypothetical scenario.
This is exactly what you get access to through soonami venturethon.
What’s Being Offered?
Up to four complimentary 1:1 coaching sessions with a high-ranked founder-advisor who has already achieved what you’re working toward.
These sessions aren’t the end, they’re the opening door. If there’s alignment and chemistry, you can explore deeper engagement on mutually agreed terms.
Think of it as a trial for your dream advisory board. Here is a look at our different category of advisors:
Rank 8: Exits or funding rounds exceeding 10 million USD as a founder
Rank 9: Exits or funding rounds surpassing 100 million USD as a founder
Why This Matters for Your Startup
Early-stage founders aren’t short of advice but what’s rare is advice that comes from someone who’s been in the trenches and emerged successful.
Here’s why this access is a game-changer:
- Guidance from operators with proven outcomes
- Strategy that cuts through noise and uncertainty
- Tactical insights grounded in real fundraising + scaling experience
This is mentorship from builders, not theorists.

Why Now?
Because brilliant startups don’t fail from lack of vision, they fail from lack of guidance. Too many promising founders waste months or years figuring out problems others already solved.
At soonami, we believe high-potential founders deserve access to real playbooks — regardless of background or geography.
This is that doorway.
