Problem
Colleges often struggle to maintain effective communication with alumni and provide students with meaningful networking, mentorship, and job referral opportunities, especially in institutions lacking dedicated platforms. This results in underutilized alumni resources, limited professional connections for students, and inefficient coordination of campus events and placement processes.

By aggregating alumni data and providing intelligent matchmaking, Venny helps close the networking gap for students at both elite and non‑elite institutions.
