John Knox is a repeat Angel Investor in some of the most successful mobile and SaaS brands, including Summit, Branch, and 1 Second Everyday. He is a current Mentor for TinySeed, and his insights and network are huge assets to the companies he provides mentorship for.

- Do you follow up on the people you help with a specific problem to see how it went and find further opportunities to help? How do organize this?

- Any recommendations on how to become more coachable?

- Can you talk about what’s in it for the mentor if they're not an investor?

​- How formal are the mentorships you're talking about? Is there an equity split, consistent scheduled meetings, or is it more informal?

- I am at the MVP stage and in the process of promoting my SaaS. It’s going slowly due to lack of budget. Any thoughts on how to speed up growth on a budget?
