I can look for an Esade alum with that experience. Want me to ask if they'd enjoy a coffee?
That would be brilliant. Please ask.

Talk it through with Alike

A short conversation helps Alike understand the real ask, whether it's a collaborator, a mentor, or a fresh perspective.

When there's a fit, choose the introduction

Alike asks each person privately. An introduction happens only when you both choose to continue.

A better introduction starts with what matters to you

Alike looks beyond a title or a search result. A short profile and a little conversation surface the shared experience that makes a first conversation worthwhile.

A classmate, not a cold email

Three things every introduction on Alike is built on.

01

Shared context

Every introduction starts from the shared Esade bond: a classmate you simply had not met yet.

02

A network that grows

No fit today? Your profile stays warm and Alike can reach out when the right person joins the network.

03

You stay in control

Double opt-in on every introduction. Nothing happens without your yes, and you can step away anytime.
