If you are a founder building something real and need sharp, straight-forward, transpartent and strategic feedback, I definitely recommend speaking with him.

I had a mentoring session with Charles last week and it was truly valuable. (I found him throught ADPlist)

He helped me rethink where I should focus, what really matters in my strategy, and how to properly validate my problem and solution before trying to scale. His advice was clear, honest and practical.

clear and actionable Feedback

I am really thankful, because Charles give me clear step I should follow, and mistake I should avoid, to not burn out my resources (time, money) "again". The discussion was insightful. He tried to understand the product and even if he thought it might be a niche for it, he asked me one question: "Have you already done customer discovery?". Very interesting, looking forward to discuss again later.

A Mentor Who Brings Clarity and Confidence

I’m incredibly grateful to Charles for his guidance and support. He demystified customer discovery calls and gave me the confidence to reach out to people to uncover truly underserved needs. Charles’s advice on choosing a co-founder was spot on and helped me navigate one of the most critical early decisions. He also generously shared his own experiences around building products and managing teams, which made his guidance practical and grounded in reality. His mentorship call had a lasting impact on how I approach building products.

Knowledgeable and precise

Knowledgeable and precise. Charles and I had a solid conversation about startup validation. Imagine having a conversation with a mentor, you’ll be able to have an honest back and forth about your ideas and processes. He’ll will for sure leave you with food for thought. Come prepared.

An Exceptional Mentor for scientists entering the business world

Working with Charles Hope over the past six months in the Seedbed Program (EIT Food) was n incredibly enriching experience. Coming from a purely academic background, we learned more about the business and entrepreneurial world than we ever expected. Charles consistently provided clear, practical, and insightful guidance that helped us understand how to translate scientific ideas into real opportunities. Beyond his expertise, he was always attentive, supportive, and genuinely committed to our progress. We always felt that we could reach out whenever we needed help, and he made sure we never felt lost. His mentorship made a significant difference in our journey, and we are very grateful for his dedication.
