We had some problems with the unsubscribe links in our emails - sorry if you're still getting emails from us if you unsubscribed. We'd be sad to see you go, but if you hit unsubscribe, it'll correctly take you off email list.
This week, we published our first Partner and Fellow spotlights from our Fellowship. Their words really capture the value we're trying to create with the Fellowship so excited to share these with the world.
If you're interested in getting early access to our next cohort's application, or are interested in being a mentor as part of the Fellowship, don't hesitate to schedule time on my calendar or shoot me a mail at [email protected].
Add your main hub
Juggling timezones is tough. Add the closest big city to you so we do it for you! We'll automatically send email notifications in that timezone and you'll see all mentor availability in that timezone.
Leave feedback to help us find the best mentors/students for you to meet with!
On your home page, you'll see a task to leave feedback for any meetings that have already happened.
Let us know if the meeting was a no-show, how relevant the connection was, if you'd like to meet again, and any notes from the meeting. We don't share this information with who you met - we use it to find the best connections for you.
You'll be able to view your feedback afterwards on the meeting page.

We wrote a recap of our Edith Fellowship Kickoff. It's been a busy week of Fellow-Partner introductions and first meetings, and we're excited to see the strong relationships built through the Fellowship.
If you're interested in learning more about the Fellowship, either as a Fellow or Partner, don't hesitate to schedule time on my calendar.
Schedule a meeting with a mentor!
How it works:
Every Sunday, we'll shoot an email to the mentors asking them for their availability for the week.
When they mark their availability, we'll send a notification to students who marked that they want to meet this mentor. Students can book mentor availability on a first-come, first-serve basis.
To book a meeting, select an unbooked time and add a brief description of what you'd like to chat about.
Once you book the meeting, we'll send a Google Calendar invite with a Google Meet. We'll also send an email introduction connecting the two of you.
