The core problem

Alumni surveys fail because they only take

A form that asks founders to report data but gives nothing back gets ignored. The fix isn't better reminders. It's a better exchange.

Traditional approach
"Please fill in this survey"
Email blast to alumni list
6 months after the program ends
Long Google Form attached
Revenue, jobs, funding status…
Two follow-up reminders sent
Week 2 and week 4
15 % response rate
Mostly from the ones already doing well
Data you can report Incomplete
Value exchange
"Here's how you compare"
Personalised check-in link
Timed to program milestones
Founder reports → gets benchmarks
Instantly sees where they stand vs. peers
Peer matches surfaced
"3 alumni at your stage. Connect?"
78 % response rate
Founders want to come back
Data you can report SCALE-ready
The exchange

Report once. Get something back every time.

Every check-in gives founders benchmarks, peer connections, and resources, so they want to respond. Not because you reminded them. Because it's useful.

Their benchmarks

After reporting revenue and headcount, founders instantly see how they compare to their cohort: percentile rank, growth rate, and where they sit on the curve. Turns a chore into a check-up.

"You're in the top 30 % for revenue growth among Spring '24 alumni"

Peer matches

Based on stage, sector, and challenges reported, we surface 2 to 3 alumni facing similar questions. Founders get introductions that actually make sense, not a random alumni directory.

"3 alumni are also preparing for Series A. Want to connect?"

Curated resources

Based on what they report, founders receive resources matched to where they are right now, not a generic newsletter. Hiring? Here are templates. Fundraising? Here's what worked for alumni who raised last quarter.

"Based on your growth stage: 4 resources selected for you"

Why alumni respond

Every check-in gives founders benchmarks, peer matching, and resource recommendations. Not just a form.

It compounds

From check-in to trajectory

Every response adds a data point. Three check-ins later, you don't just have a snapshot. You have a growth story your funder can follow.
