Alumni and cohort networks
Alumni and cohort networks built on asking and offering, with a named introduction by email each week.
Members say what they need and what they can help with, and ConnectedIn Communities matches them. Universities, accelerators and associations see the introductions made, help given and jobs found, rather than login counts.
No account. No card. No sales call.
The problem
A programme builds an alumni platform, everyone joins, and within weeks it is dead. Directories go stale because nobody updates a profile, and forums are empty because there is no reason to post.
The community reverts to a WhatsApp group nobody can search, and the organisation keeps paying for a platform whose engagement it is embarrassed to report.
Who it is for
Universities and alumni offices
Community and alumni relations directors at universities with large alumni communities.
Accelerators, bootcamps and fellowships
Programmes with cohorts and alumni networks to keep connected.
Associations and course cohorts
Professional associations and large course cohorts, with anywhere from 200 to 50,000 members.
Is your alumni network working, or is it just a directory?
Answer questions about your member list, asking and offering, whether members stay active and the outcomes you can report. See your network health score, the weakest area and what to fix first. Runs in your browser. No account, no card, no call.
Method: yes scores a question in full, partly scores half and no scores nothing. Each is weighted from one to three by how much it affects whether members connect and whether you can show it, and the score is the weighted share, as a percentage. Unanswered questions are left out.
A network built on asking and offering
Members say what they need and what they can help with, and the network introduces them to each other.
Needs and offers
Members state what they need and what they can help with, rather than being asked to post.
Named introductions each week
The system matches members and introduces them by email each week, with a specific named suggestion rather than a feed.
Profiles that stay current
Profiles are enriched automatically and confirmed by the member with one tap.
Outcomes a director can report
Introductions made, help given and jobs found, rather than login counts.
The network drawn as a graph
See how many members are isolated, which clusters never connect, and the highest-value introductions not yet happening.
Job board and mentorship
Optional job board and mentorship modules.
Pricing
The Network Health Report is free. Networks are priced per member per year, with the rate declining at scale.

Questions people actually ask
How is this different from a typical alumni platform?
It is built on asking and offering rather than posting. Members state what they need and what they can help with, and the system matches them and introduces them by email each week.
How do profiles stay up to date?
Profiles are enriched automatically and confirmed by the member with one tap.
What does the organisation see?
Real outcomes: introductions made, help given and jobs found, rather than login counts.
What is the Network Health Report?
A free report for any existing alumni community. Import a member list and see how many members are isolated, which clusters never connect, and the highest-value introductions currently not happening.
What does it cost?
2 dollars per member per year up to 5,000 members, declining at scale, with a minimum of 4,000 dollars a year.
Are there extra modules?
Yes. Job board and mentorship modules are optional.
Why should I trust the network health check?
The score is worked out from your own answers in your browser, and no member data is uploaded. It shows what you can and cannot see about your network; the free Network Health Report maps the real structure from an imported member list.
