Source founders
Identify high-quality founders through your network
Success for your program relies on a steady stream of founders, but manual sourcing isn’t scalable—and not every promising candidate comes in by referral. Affinity makes outreach easier by analyzing your team's network to identify the warmest intro path to high-quality founders.
Track promising founders until they’re program-ready
When founders are too early in their journey to join your program, you need an efficient way to monitor their progress until the time is right. Affinity keeps track of the strength of relationships in your network, with reminders to reach out and ensure that no important connection is lost.
Evaluate applications efficiently across team members
Even with high volumes of applicants, productivity doesn’t have to suffer. Affinity’s browser extensions reduce context-switching, while native and custom integrations bring all your data into one place. This allows your team to quickly make decisions based on all the available information.
Run programs
Keep cohort activities and communication organized
Running multiple cohorts simultaneously and tracking interactions between hundreds of founders, mentors, and program advisors is a time-consuming task. Affinity automatically captures data from every email and meeting, giving your team complete visibility into each cohort’s progress and engagement.
Connect startups with the right mentors and experts
Effective mentor matching drives success, but coordinating mentor-founder relationships across cohorts is overwhelming. Affinity helps you understand your mentor network's expertise, track engagement levels, and demonstrate impact to stakeholders.
Get the right people in the room on pitch days
Pitch day is the pinnacle of your program, requiring a mix of potential investors, mentors, and stakeholders to be in attendance. Use Affinity to curate relevant lists for each cohort, streamlining communication and using enriched data to better understand each person’s expertise.
Develop startups
Support fundraising efforts with investor introductions
Your firm’s network can hold the key to a founder’s next round of funding, but only if you know which potential investor is a good fit. Affinity delivers insights based on interaction history and enriched data, giving you the context you need to make targeted and relevant introductions.
Track program graduates’ progress and milestones
Measuring the performance of every cohort is no small task. Measure engagement, track milestone completion, and identify the factors that drive successful outcomes for the founders in your program with Affinity’s customizable reporting views.
Maintain ongoing relationships with alumni founders
Program alumni can become valuable referrers for new founders and help to mentor future cohorts—but only if you stay in touch. Affinity's enriched data keeps you in the loop on significant events like exec hires and exits, while reminders act as prompts to help minimize engagement gaps.
