How does it work?
1. Sign up
Users sign-up and complete their profile through forms (started by us, and customized by you), where they will share information needed for match-making (affiliation, skills, hobbies, or whatever you want really.). You can also control how exclusive your community is by changing the sign-up method (e.g. invitation code or e-mail address).
2. Get connected
Users are connected using an AI algorithm, guided by you, using the information from their signup and profile forms. The introductions are made directly over email (because let's be honest, nobody wants yet another app) with suggestions on when to meet, a conversation starter, and any other information you want to include.
3. Give Feedback
After their meetings, users fill out a feedback form (yep, also designed by you). You can access aggregate statistics and learn more about the impact of connections with automated insights from our AI: The Maven.
What does it cost?
Connect is free for up to 50 users. After reaching 50 users, there is a charge of $1 per-user per-month. Programs for social good may be eligible for additional free users depending on their cause. Programs that use connect for free are encouraged to invest what they would have paid for a license back into their communities (e.g. through subsidized lunches, gifts, coffee, etc.)
Features of Connect
Connect offers several features to help you manage and grow your community, including:
- Customizable user experience: Tailor communications, notifications, and other aspects of the program. Adjust signup forms and pre-/post-meeting questionnaires to fit your organization’s needs, ensuring a smooth user experience from onboarding to feedback collection.
- A.I. matching, guided by you: Define the specific criteria your community values and the A.I. will automatically make smart, personalized connections at the cadence you choose.
- Quick setup with easy modifications: Get your program up and running within minutes using a pre-configured template or create a fully customized experience. Modify settings, forms, and communication options anytime to adapt as your community grows or changes.
- Email-based interaction: Introduce users, schedule meetings, and collect feedback directly via email, without requiring users to log into the platform. This keeps engagement high and participation easy for users who prefer managing their connections from their inbox.
- Identity and safety validation: Ensure your community remains safe by validating user identities and automatically flagging inappropriate behavior. Program exclusivity can be controlled through domain restrictions and invitation codes to keep your program secure.
- Data-driven insights and reporting: Access comprehensive reports on user activity, feedback, and participation trends through an administrator dashboard. Visualize your community’s growth and engagement, and download detailed data reports to help guide decision-making and program improvements.
- Robust security to protect user data: Keep your community’s data safe with industry-standard SSL encryption, password protection, and regular backups.
- Recruitment and communication tools: Easily invite users to your program through our pre-formatted email invitation tool, or share signup links via your website, newsletter, or social media. You can also send mass updates or announcements to your user base directly from your aministrator dashboard.
- Connection scheduling and tracking: Connections between users are made automatically based on your configured cadence. You can track the connection history and user participation to monitor how your community is growing and how users are interacting.
