Ask someone who's been where you are.
A closed network of verified alumni where every ask gets an answer within the week. Twenty minutes with the right person, and the routines that make it a place rather than a list.
Free for verified alumni. Invite-only, on purpose.
Three small steps.
- 1
Say what you need.
One line on what you want to know, from someone who's done it. Twenty minutes, three times you could do. That's an ask.
- 2
Get an answer within the week.
Everyone here has agreed to reply — yes, a different time, or an honest not now. Nobody is left on read.
- 3
Turn up on Thursday.
Elevenses, round-tables, a circle of people in your situation. The routines are where the network becomes people.
Three things, and nothing that isn't one of them.
No feed, no followers, no inbox you dread. A member has a profile that says what they can give and what they're after, and the network does the rest.
Asks
A bounded request — purpose, twenty minutes, three times. Answered, deferred or declined; never ignored. One tap from the email.
Rituals
Recurring events you say yes to once. The invite lands in your calendar and repeats; a reminder the day before.
Circles
Curated groups of people who share a situation — the international student staying for the job, the career changer. Find who's in yours and ask.
Twenty minutes, on your terms, a few times a month.
Say what you can talk about and how much time you have. Asks come to you with a purpose and three times; you answer from the email. No profile to polish, no one to chase.
- Never more than three open asks at once — the network keeps the load fair
- “Answers within N days” on your profile is the only reputation that exists here
- A not-now is a good answer; it is silence the network doesn’t allow
- Give and get are the same profile — everyone is both, sooner or later
One school at a time, with the numbers to show for it.
A cohort of your own alumni, verified against your domain, with a report each period: who joined, who asked, who answered and how fast, who turned up. Built with Bayes Business School first.
