As the title suggests, where and how can I find a good mentor locally?

I am doing my startup now with Vancouver being the pilot market, and we have developed the product (an app) as we wanted it to be, and we are getting into the launch phase.

We have some ideas as far as marketing goes, but in reality, we are just going through the trial and error part as none of us have significant experience in launch an app, or more precisely, in the field that the app is intended: brick & mortar retail.

We have done our homework on how other startups do it, but TBH, there is still too many variables beyond our controls.

I thought by bringing in a seasoned pro in the field as a mentor would help us significantly and achieve a higher effectiveness of our marketing budget.

We'd need someone that can spare a few hours per week to discuss with us regarding our plans and give us some feedback based on his/her experience.

So, for something local (or relatively speaking), where is a good place to start?
