HOW DOES IT WORK?
The GUILD is a smart networking solution to foster meaningful connections across multiple verticals.

STEP 2
The GUILD algorithm makes smart suggestions for you to connect with up to 4 mentors / students during the 8 week program.
Introductions are sent on Monday mornings with the meeting suggested for a time on Thursday.
You can reschedule the meeting, confirm or cancel if it is not a good match. Always confirm the meeting before jumping on the call!
After the meeting, please review the meeting. This information is only visible to the GUILD!

Your feedback will help our algorithms improve and make better suggestions.
We will ask you to evaluate your experience and keep us informed should any of the meetings result in an investment.

This was a great way to meet graduate students I wouldn't have otherwise met and I enjoyed being able to advise.
Thank you so much for what you are doing! The goal is hugely appreciated and you are filling a gap for easier networking that is so critical!
FEEDBACK FROM GUIL MATCH-MAKING PROGRAMS
This is a unique and a great effort. It is encouraging to see other accomplished women as well.
The Bay Area is rich with talented women. You meet them in your circles everyday. At the Guild, I loved meeting new women who offered a slightly different perspective and opened up new doors.
Again, this program was brilliant. I'd love to be involved in an extended version and be introduced to 8 or 12 or 16 others!
Great idea. Your matching algorithm clearly works.
