I noticed that a good amount of the most solid startups have mentors, advisors, nearby friends, people visiting each other, or they join stuff like YCombinator (that requires physical presence).
But I am in Brazil, and I found no hot startup scene here (like there are in SV or near MIT), I am struggling to have friends or mentors, everyone that I talk to is using internet, and everyone lives really far away from me (the closest person is 2000km I think?)

So, how I find mentors, advisors and whatnot?
