An online start-up that connects workers with business leaders and sports stars has launched in Australia to capitalise on the burgeoning demand for mentoring services caused by the shift to remote work.

For $29 a month, users of the Tigerhall app can access leadership advice from people such as former ABC boss and Google executive Michelle Guthrie, Adobe Asia-Pacific president Simon Tate and the former captain of Australia’s international women’s cricket team, Lisa Sthalekar. Some of the leaders are available for one-on-one mentoring at an extra cost.
