Alma is an AI-powered mentorship platform that connects students with alumni mentors who share their background, interests, and career path. Our AI analyzes your profile and goals to identify the most relevant mentors, then helps you craft a personalized introduction that gets a real response.

How does mentor matching work?

Alma uses proprietary AI algorithms to match you with the most relevant mentors. Our system analyzes multiple factors including your educational institution, field of study, career interests, and stated goals. It then identifies alumni mentors who share overlapping backgrounds and ranks them by relevance.

Alma offers a free tier that includes basic access to the platform, limited mentor discovery, and free introduction requests per month. For users who want more introductions and advanced features, we offer paid subscription plans (Starter, Pro, and Premium) with different credit allocations and benefits.

How do intro requests work?

When you find a mentor you would like to connect with, you can send them an introduction request. Alma's AI drafts a personalized introduction message highlighting shared connections and relevant interests. You can review and edit the draft before sending. Once accepted, a direct messaging channel opens between you.

How do I become a mentor on Alma?

Sign up for an account and select the alumni/mentor path during onboarding. Complete your profile with your educational background, professional experience, and areas of expertise. Once verified, you will begin receiving introduction requests from students who match your background.

Is my data safe on Alma?

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest. We implement role-based access controls and regular security assessments. Alma is designed to comply with GDPR and CCPA. We never sell your data to third parties.
