Job Description

The Company:

================


Our mission is to make education affordable by helping institutions increase alumni giving. The idea started from our founders' struggle with the lack of scholarships when they were students. Watch this TEDx talk from Kalyan to learn more.


We are a bootstrapped company that has grown to be a leader in the alumni software space in the US. We're slated for even faster growth on the path to becoming market leaders through a unique strategic partnership with Blackbaud (read more here & here)


Our customers are universities and high schools and in most cases, we're working with staff in the alumni relations and fundraising office at these institutions. The value prop for them at a high level is simple - "Engage more alumni and raise more money from them". 90%+ of our customers are from the US currently but we're starting sales in UK and Canada this year so we'll start to see some more customer regions this year. Our team is based in India and the USA. The India team is based in Bangalore and the US team is fully remote.
