How alumni networks run right now.
Most alumni networksstitch their community together with the tools below. It works — until it doesn’t scale.
No verified identity
Without a shared member system, you can't tell who's active, who's verified, or who's truly part of the community.
Decisions stay offline
Important community moments — events, votes, grievances — happen, but the follow-through lives in someone's head.
