Decoding the 3MTT Mentorship Program & Beyond
The 3MTT (3 Month Transformation Track) program, created by Lenny Rachitsky, is a highly selective, cohort-based mentorship program focused on product management. It pairs aspiring PMs with experienced leaders for intensive, structured guidance. But what if you didn’t get into 3MTT, or are looking for something more ongoing? Here’s how to build a similar mentorship experience for yourself.
The "Expert" Perspective: 3MTT’s success isn’t just about access to mentors; it’s about structured accountability and a supportive cohort. Many seek mentorship as a quick fix – a single conversation to solve a problem. True growth comes from consistent learning, public accountability, and iterating on feedback over time. Traditional networks often offer connections, but lack the framework for sustained development. Booking-only platforms provide access, but not necessarily guidance.
Actionable Steps to Build Your Own 3MTT:
- Define Your "Transformation Track": What specific skills or career goals will you focus on for the next 3 months? Be precise (e.g., “Land a PM role at a Series B startup” vs. “Improve my career”).
- Identify Potential Mentors: Look beyond just job titles. Seek individuals who’ve already achieved what you aspire to, and who demonstrate a willingness to share their knowledge.
- Propose a Structured Engagement: Don’t just ask for “advice.” Suggest a recurring meeting cadence (e.g., bi-weekly 30-minute check-ins) with a clear agenda.
- Document Your Journey: Publicly track your progress, learnings, and challenges. This forces clarity and attracts valuable feedback.
- Seek Peer Support: Join a community of like-minded individuals to share experiences and hold each other accountable.
