Quora celebrity Alex K Chen is one of our advisors, is a coauthor at our Quora blog, and has been compiling material useful to Cognito Mentoring.

Congrats. Maybe you could persuade him to include a statement like "I am an advisor to Cognito Mentoring" or similar in his self-summary? Or try to get other Quora celebrities to become advisors (esp. those who have taken an interest in smart high schoolers and answering questions related to them) and then get them to link to Cognito Mentoring from their profiles? How about asking past/present/future advisees to link to you from their online profiles?

BTW, I just wanted to say thanks a lot to both of you for working on Cognito Mentoring. It's a great idea and it seems like you guys are doing a great job.
