Q2 | Live meetings are essential for connection and engagement in mentorship, and it all starts with the first meeting. Improvements to the connection plan experience decreased the time it took participants to schedule the first meeting and increased first meetings by 44%.

Q1 | Enrollment is a participant's first experience in their program. The redesigned enrollment breaks profile completion down into bitesize sections. It also includes mentoring training and the opportunity to review and request mentoring partners before arriving on the dashboard. In self-match programs, this improvement increased match requests by 12%. Learn More

Q3 | In addition to a new template that helps the reader focus on the message, the emails are being redesigned to encourage participants to return and take the next step in their partnership. For example, and update to the email that encourages participants to schedule their first meeting after being matched increased first meetings by 400%.
