OUR MISSION

EXPAND CIRCLES. DREAM BIG. CONNECT BEYOND HYPER-LOCAL.

It is a non-sticky, non-traditional, and unconditional online mentorship platform which is not limited by geography. It is a global network of ambitious, talented individuals who can mutually benefit from each other. We offers a cohesive platform to discover, chat and schedule calls with peer experts (users who are 4–5 years ahead) to get advice across domains that reflect the varied interests of today’s professionals: finance, start­up, tech, design, media, fashion, and public health, just to name a few.

Our mission is to promote the feeling of “She did it, so can I” by making it easy for you to find mentors with whom you can relate to aspirationally, professionally & culturally.

HOW IT WORKS

a) 1-O-1 — Recommendation Based Connections

Using your profile details, our machine learning algorithms and matching tools, connect you to role models or protégés with common dreams, career goals and possibly similar cultural background. We offers a cohesive platform to discover and schedule calls with peer experts (users who are 4–5 years ahead) to get advice across domains. We leverage technology to make the process of connections discovery seamless and provide abilities to chat in native language, bookmark profiles and schedule the phone calls. Check out the about page for more information.
