How it works

How a match works.

    Create profile

    Tell us about you

    Sign up as a mentor, a mentee or both. Complete your profile so we understand your needs and experience.

    Get matched

    Review your proposal

    We find the most suitable mentor or mentee for your personal and professional needs. You review and approve the proposal, and once you both agree, the match begins.

    Easy engagement

    Three months, four meetings

    Two meetings in the first month and one in each month after. A strong relationship and real development, in a manageable timeframe.

    Ongoing matching

    Keep growing

    After the first three months, active profiles are eligible for rematching, for ongoing growth and new perspectives.
Updating needs and preferences in the OneUpOneDown app

Update your needs and preferences regularly

Committed to quality matches.

Our near-peer approach pairs you with someone a few steps ahead in your area of focus, making the experience more relatable and richer for both of you.

We prioritise quality: a poor match benefits no one. It can take from one day up to three months to be matched, depending on the availability of a suitable mentor. Premium members get a guaranteed match within 14 days.

Learning through trusted relationships

Space to grow parts of yourself that took a back seat.

OneUpOneDown mentorship meets the unmet professional and personal development needs of professional women. By pairing mentors and mentees in trusted relationships based on shared experience, we create spaces where women can express and develop parts of themselves that may have taken a back seat to fit their current environments.

As well as learning new skills, the relationships built through mentorship improve confidence, communication and a sense of value for everyone involved.
