Company Summary

Alumni communities are strong networks of trust with a sense of kinship and desire to ‘pay it forward’ but are not well serviced online. Unlike classic alumni tools, we're offering a solution aimed directly at alumni, helping them crowdsource their questions through the community and find the right answer, advice and connections.
We recently opened to Columbia, Harvard, Brown and IIT and have been seeing excellent growth and engagement rates.
