Alumni Network Website

Published by Forager under business, uw-jsis

I guess I am late on arrival again … There is a company that does exactly what I envisioned for JSIS: Affinity Circles.

A very interesting company and here is its founding story:
“Affinity Circles was founded by a couple of students at Stanford. They created a social networking platform called “Club Nexus” for undergrads at Stanford. They got funding, secured the Stanford Alumni Association as their first customer and then hired a CEO to stabilize the company.” (found at a blog site)

I am glad there is something out there. But at the same time, now that UWAA’s already built a website for all UW alum, I am wondering what space there is left for JSIS. Particularlly, how do we get data from UWAA?

But then again, if we can get easy access to JSIS alum, that will be a very good thing indeed.

One response so far
