Seeking mentor. Advice?

[ColtonJD91]

Hello all.
I'm considering approaching a local start up community here in Vegas (http://downtownproject.com). My object is to meet someone I can form an on-going relationship with and derive advice, wisdom, etc from in exchange for manual labor or whatever I can offer. Since I've never really had an opportunity like this, I was hoping individuals that have tread through this process might advise me on what qualities and actions would put me in the best light as a good use of time. Thank you.
