glad it worked out for you! Did you find a mentor who is in a similar domain/industry you're interested in? e.g. finding a mentor with b2c experience when you know you want to do b2c

Not really. Data and B2B mentors when doing B2C. It's still fairly similar, they know enough to comment on things like UI/UX, how to raise funding, and tech business models.

Normally you're the domain expert anyway. You don't always want to take advice from someone who might be more inexperienced. Part of the mentor experience is blindly following advice to get through a plateau, so be careful who you allow to blindfold you.
