About Us
No one achieves success in this world without a mentor. Mentors harness the wealth of their experience and the depth of their knowledge to push those that come behind them to new heights. Mentors are critical to the development of all disciplines and the improvement of all practitioners. Kwekence is poised to create a world where mentors are instantly available, in every field of interest, at any time and at the most reasonable price.
Kwekence is an online community where everyday people come to learn from and be mentored by everyday people with extraordinary skills, gifts and talents. Inspired by the Dutch word Kweken which means "To cultivate", the word Kwekence is an amalgamation of the two words: "Kweken" and "Essence". At its essence, Kwekence is a community where people come to be cultivated, through the power of mentorship, into their better selves.

What does Kwekence do ?
The internet links billions of people together throughout the world in a web where facts, figures, data sets, and narratives coalesce to form knowledge that’s easily accessible and readily available to everyone at the click of a button. The web has successfully closed the access gap to information, and it has ushered in an era where access to information is abundant.
Kwekence does something similar. Our platform closes the access gap to professional and personal mentorship. Kwekence provides users a direct and efficient means of communicating with experts in virtually every field of human endeavor and facilitates a relationship where the expertise of a mentor can be harnessed to upgrade an individual's skill in fields as concrete as the construction trades or as creative as the arts.
Likewise, Kwekence provides users a new way to acquire mentorship experiences. Traditionally, access to mentors and the quality of the mentorship experience was defined by where the seeker attended school, worked, lived or the quality of their social circle. Under that paradigm, mentorship was obtained often through informal means, by happenstance and sometimes even luck. Kwekence takes luck out of the equation and democratizes access to a quality mentor. With Kwekence, anyone can find a mentor in almost any subject, at any time and at a price within their reach.
What makes Kwekence Unique ?
Kwekence connects people across a range of diverse backgrounds and facilitates a mentorship experience that is designed to enhance the user’s skill, network, and confidence in the field. The mentors on our platform are experts in the fields that matter to you. Whether you seek a basic, intermediate, or advanced level of understanding in the subject, our mentors will be there to assist you every step of the way. On top of that, our mentors will offer you what you can’t get anywhere else – personalized sessions with people who not only know what it is you want to know, but who know how to get you to where you want to go. By providing users a modern take on the concept of mentorship, Kwekence aims to usher in a new era of learning that maximizes the power of peer to peer mentorship.
