Mentors come in many shapes and sizes, from many backgrounds, with different interests. But in my experience, the best mentors have some key qualities. All great mentors have the type of broad and deep experience, preferably in a range of products/services/industries/markets. This doesn't mean that every experience that a mentor had was successful, just that there are learnings from every experience. Indeed a mentor can't effectively share their suggestions and insights with wisdom.
