What are the best ways to get in touch with a mentor ?

For anybody who's about to rush into creating their own startup, or for those who have recently startup it, it's always a good idea to benefit from tips, experience, network, inspiration, encouragement, energy from someone who has been through kind of the same thing.

So how have you meet your mentor ?

Last point, I live in Hamburg, Germany.
There's another thread going on with the same question:

Some of the answers there are very interesting.

As for myself, I got a chance to help a local body of entrepreneurs to organize their meetup events. Working closely with them has helped me make more meaningful relationships than formal mentorship/advice requests to strangers.
