John, Laura and Jack - AOTB - July 2018
summary
Three students from Plymouth University describe a web-based app that connects students with industry mentors, built as a simple sign-up and email matching service that creates a direct link between companies and learners. It matches profiles algorithmically, sends introduction emails, and is already piloted at meetups and events to overcome the limits of ad hoc networking. The team reports low setup friction, potential to scale, and real contact formation rather than just listings.
