🎯 Advice First, Capital Last: The Mentorship Model

LIP #124
Jul 16, 2025

Next Jump follows a unique support philosophy that reverses the typical approach:

Traditional Approach: Money → Advice → Connections
Next Jump's Model:

  1. Advice and mentorship 🧠
  2. Network introductions 🤝
  3. Capital investment 💰

This sequence recognizes that guidance and connections are often more valuable than financial support alone.

Key insight: Their role as social capitalists begins with being mentees themselves at Next Jump, learning from experienced mentors before becoming mentors to others.

This ensures recipients receive comprehensive support - the wisdom to make good decisions, connections to amplify impact, and resources to execute their vision.
