In this time it's never been more important to try to help each other through some of the deepest layoffs and hardest job cuts that the modern economy have ever seen. I think this is an important and valuable project and I'm glad Martin is working on it.

Hi everyone 👋🏼 Thanks for hunting us @garrytan! Martin here, I'm a cofounder of Pelion. In the last few weeks we've seen friends, customers, and former colleagues affected by layoffs in the technology industry. Mentors on Pelion spend a lot of 1:1 time with mentees, figuring out how to progress their careers. Many have reached out asking to do pro-bono work for those affected by the layoffs. We're launching Pelion Cares to enable more of these conversations. If you're able to commit a few hours to working with someone who's been laid off: please sign up. If you've been laid off: sign up and we'll match you with someone who can provide some measure of support. Being laid off will always be a terrible experience — perhaps we can help make it a less lonely one.

They will never probably never respond to you. Seems like they just want to collect emails for something else. Definitely do not recommend.
