The Problem

Alumni engagement rates average 5–10% at most universities. Alumni data is outdated — 30% of addresses are wrong. Mentorship matching is manual and doesn't scale. Event attendance for alumni gatherings is declining. Donation conversion from engaged alumni is underoptimized. LinkedIn Groups replaced but can't match alumni-specific features.
