### Das Problem

An vielen Hochschulen lernen Studierende fleißig, kennen aber kaum jemanden in dem Bereich, in den sie wollen. Sie lesen online über Berufe, wissen aber nicht, wie der Arbeitsalltag aussieht oder worauf Unternehmen wirklich achten.

Die Absolventen, die helfen könnten, gibt es. Sie haben die Stellen, die Erfahrung und das Netzwerk. Aber ohne eine Brücke treffen sich diese beiden Gruppen nie, und den Studierenden fehlt die Begleitung, die ihren Berufsstart ermöglichen könnte.

### Wie Organisationen das meist handhaben

Hochschulen reagieren meist mit großen Karrieremessen und Gastvorträgen. Diese Veranstaltungen bringen Menschen in einen Raum, dauern aber nur ein paar Stunden. Studierende sammeln vielleicht eine Visitenkarte, bekommen aber selten den tiefen, fortlaufenden Rat, den sie für ein echtes Vorstellungsgespräch brauchen.

### Wie Mentoring das löst

Beim Mentoring trifft sich eine erfahrene Person über Monate regelmäßig mit einer oder einem Studierenden, mit einem klaren Ziel. Der richtige Mentor ist hier jemand aus dem Kreis der Alumni, der im gewünschten Bereich arbeitet. Er kennt die Branche, die ungeschriebenen Regeln und weiß, wie eine starke Bewerbung aussieht.

Weil sich beide immer wieder treffen, kann der Mentor Schritt für Schritt begleiten. Zuerst geht es um die Richtung, dann um das Durchsehen von Arbeiten und schließlich um die Vorbereitung auf die ersten Vorstellungsgespräche. Die Studierenden bekommen Begleitung, und die Absolventen können etwas zurückgeben.

### Wie es mit Mentornity funktioniert

- **Anmeldung und Zuordnung.** Studierende und Alumni melden sich über Ihre eigenen Formulare an. Matching-Regeln und Mentornity AI schlagen anhand der Formularfelder Zuordnungen vor, und Ihr Team bestätigt sie mit einem Klick.
- **Ein klarer Sitzungsplan.** Jede Mentoring-Beziehung folgt einem Sitzungsplan, der von der Richtungswahl bis zu den ersten Vorstellungsgesprächen führt. Mit dem Meeting Planner planen Sie alle Treffen auf einmal.
- **Nächste Schritte nach den Treffen.** Nach jedem Treffen halten die Studierenden den nächsten Schritt fest, mit Verantwortlichem und Termin. So geht die Arbeit auch zwischen den Gesprächen weiter.
- **Alumni wieder einladen.** Wenn eine neue Runde beginnt, können Sie das Programm kopieren. Sitzungen, Formulare, Matching-Regeln und Programmvereinbarung kommen mit, und Sie können die Mentoren der letzten Runde in einem Schritt wieder einladen.
- **Oder ein Mentorenpool, mit Regeln.** Nicht jedes Programm braucht feste Zuordnungen. In einem Pool-Programm geben Mentoren ihre freien Zeiten frei, und Studierende und Mitglieder buchen sie selbst. Regeln legen trotzdem fest, wer wen sieht: Studierende sehen zum Beispiel nur Alumni, die dasselbe Fach studiert haben.

### Was Sie messen können

- Ihr Team sieht, welche Studierenden sich regelmäßig mit ihren Alumni-Mentoren treffen.
- Sie sehen eine Liste der Mentoring-Beziehungen, die sich seit dreißig Tagen nicht getroffen haben.
- Mentornity AI schlägt eine E-Mail vor, um bei diesen stillen Mentoring-Beziehungen nachzufragen.

### Fragen

**Können wir eigene Anmeldefragen verwenden?**
Ja. Studierende und Alumni melden sich über Ihre eigenen Formulare an. Die Matching-Regeln nutzen diese Formularfelder, um für alle Studierenden die passenden Absolventen vorzuschlagen.

**Was passiert, wenn sich Studierende und Mentor nicht mehr treffen?**
Ihr Team sieht eine Liste der Mentoring-Beziehungen, die sich seit dreißig Tagen nicht getroffen haben. Mentornity AI kann eine E-Mail vorschlagen, mit der Sie nachfragen und die beiden wieder in Gang bringen.

**Müssen wir das Programm jedes Jahr neu aufbauen?**
Nein. Sie können Ihr Programm für die nächste Runde kopieren. Sitzungen, Formulare, Matching-Regeln und Programmvereinbarung kommen mit, und Sie laden frühere Mentoren in einem Schritt wieder ein.

## Mentornity in brief

Mentornity is software for running mentoring programs: companies (onboarding, career, leadership, reverse mentoring), universities and alumni networks, startup accelerators and incubators, associations and professional communities, and women's leadership programs. One program team sets the program up; mentors and mentees take part from the browser or their phone. It has run programs since 2015.

### What changes for the program team

- **Matching stops being a spreadsheet job.** The team writes rules on the questions mentors and mentees answer (same department, related expertise, more experience, a specific answer paired with a specific answer), each with a weight. Mentornity scores every possible pair from 0 to 100, leaves out pairs that fail a mandatory rule, and shows the reasons behind each score. An AI rule reads free-text goals and adds to the same score. The same data always gives the same result, so every match can be explained to a manager or a participant. The team approves pairs, lets mentees choose from a ranked list, or opens a mentor pool.
- **The first meeting happens quickly.** Mentors publish their open hours once or as a weekly pattern; mentees book them. Busy time in connected Google and Outlook calendars is blocked both ways, and every meeting gets a Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or built-in video link without anyone creating one. Mentornity's own data on 78,000+ pairs: pairs that met in their first week averaged 2.7 meetings in the first year, against 1.8 for pairs whose first meeting came after two months.
- **Quiet pairs are found while they can still be saved.** Program Health flags pairs that stopped meeting, and automatic reminders go to people who never logged in, pairs behind on their sessions and anyone with an open form or missing feedback, in each person's own language. In the same data a pair silent at day 60 has about a 1 in 3 chance of meeting again; by day 90 it is 1 in 10.
- **Every meeting has a plan, if the program wants one.** Predefined sessions carry a topic, a date range, a brief for each role and questions before and after the meeting. Notes reach both sides; private notes stay private. Flexible programs skip sessions and let pairs meet freely.
- **Support does not land in a personal inbox.** Participants read role guides and send requests inside the platform; the team shares one support board and replies go out in the program's name.
- **The report is ready when leadership, a funder or a board asks.** Participation, matches, meetings, session completion and feedback are counted while the program runs, with a Program Health score and its reasons, and export to Excel, CSV or PDF. Participants can receive certificates on completion.
- **Mentors plan every meeting in one go.** Super Meeting Planner reads both sides' calendars and published hours and plans all remaining meetings of a match at the program's rhythm (duration, target frequency, number of meetings), shows the plan before it creates anything, and never deletes a meeting. The program decides whether the values are locked and whether mentees may plan too (https://www.mentornity.com/whats-new/super-meeting-planner/).
- **Mentors send exercises between meetings.** Mentoring Tools is a library of 27 short exercises in six themes (working together, self-knowledge, goals and action, career and network, venture, reflection). The mentee fills the tool in step by step, both discuss the answers, and only the matched pair sees them. Each tool has its sources, a reason why it works, and a presentation for mentors and one for mentees, and a page of its own under https://www.mentornity.com/tools/.
- **Development is measured, not only satisfaction.** With Development & Impact participants set up to three goals and answer short development statements at the start; at the midpoint, the end and a follow-up they mark their progress, mentors rate the same goals, and the team sees goal attainment and the change per development area with the number of people behind every figure, exportable to Excel. 45 suggested statement sets are matched to the organization type, audience and goal (https://www.mentornity.com/whats-new/development-and-impact/).
- **Mentors and mentees learn inside the platform.** The Support window lists the presentations and guides chosen for the person's role and program type (Mentor Guide, Mentee Guide, video meetings guide, and the tool decks), in the platform language; white-label programs show no Mentornity links (https://www.mentornity.com/presentations/).
- **Large programs share the load.** Coordinators each see only their own pairs; the admin still sees every match, meeting and note in one table. Programs, cohorts and administrators are unlimited, and administrators and coordinators never count towards the price.
- **An AI agent does the routine work, with the team's approval.** Mentornity AI works in the admin panel: it builds a program from a few answers, proposes matches with the matching rules each one meets and misses, finds quiet matches and drafts the mail that restarts them, keeps mentor hours open, answers questions from the live data with figures and charts, and drafts the term report. The team chooses how far it goes (suggestions only, safe rules or full autopilot); anything outside that level waits on a card to approve or reject. The model sees participants under aliases, never their contact details, and runs on credits or the organization's own Anthropic API key (https://www.mentornity.com/mentornity-ai/).
- **Mentors and mentees use the AI assistant they already have.** With the Mentornity connector (MCP), a participant connects Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP assistant once, then opens hours, books meetings, finds a mentor, prepares for a meeting and fills in tools by asking in their own words, inside the program's rules. It only looks by default; every change is shown first and happens after a yes (https://www.mentornity.com/mentornity-connector/).
- **Other systems can read and write program data.** A REST API covers members, matches and meetings, with signed webhooks (https://www.mentornity.com/developers/).
- **Mentors and mentees follow the program from their phone.** Mobile apps (App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6833277111) carry messages, meetings and the program, with phone notifications.

### Program models

One-to-one, group mentoring (one mentor with a group), grouped-individual programs, mentee self-selection, open mentor pools, peer and reverse mentoring, structured or freestyle. Roles can be renamed (coach, advisor, expert, alumni) so the platform speaks the organization's language. One person can take part in several programs with a single account.

### Launch

Most programs go from signup to invitations within a day: create the program, follow the built-in checklist (profile questions, sessions, application form), import participants from Excel or share an application link, and send invitations. A person from the Mentornity team helps with the first setup, free of charge.

### How a program runs, week by week

This is the routine Mentornity's own guide recommends (https://www.mentornity.com/how-to-manage-a-mentoring-program/); the platform does the counting and the reminders, the team acts only where a pair is flagged.

- **Day one:** the program is set up and invitations go out. Participants sign up, fill in their profile, and are matched by the rules or choose from a ranked list.
- **Week one:** the aim is a first meeting in the first week, booked from the mentor's open hours with the video link already in the invitation. Automatic login reminders go to anyone who has not signed in.
- **Every week, 30 to 60 minutes for the team** (a cohort of about 50 to 200 people): scan Program Health (Mentornity scores the program across 11 dimensions), clear the flagged pairs, let the reminders cover logins, sessions, forms and feedback, note one win for the stakeholder update, and check whether last week's nudged pairs responded.
- **The escalation schedule:** a login reminder at day 7; a nudge to the mentor if nothing is booked by day 14; a personal note to both if there is still no meeting by day 21 to 30; at 45 days of silence ask "continue or rematch?"; by day 60 rematch the mentee. Half of the pairs still unmet at day 14 do go on to meet, so a quiet fortnight calls for a nudge rather than a rematch.
- **Mentors and mentees, each week:** they book and hold their meetings, answer the before and after questions of the session if the program uses sessions, and share notes. Mentors keep their time protected with weekly limits and cancellation rules.
- **Monthly:** a short update to sponsors from the live report (active pairs, sessions held, the share of pairs that met this month, one participant quote).
- **Mid-program:** one short survey, then act on it within a week (rematches, the most common complaint).
- **The last four weeks:** announce the end date, ask every pair to book a final session, run the final survey, issue certificates, mark the cohort complete and export the report. Invite the strongest mentees to mentor the next cohort.

### For IT, HR and legal

- SAML 2.0 single sign-on with Entra ID (Azure AD), OneLogin or any SAML provider, optionally enforced; white labeling with the organization's own domain, logo, colours and sender address. Both are add-ons priced separately.
- Personal data is processed in line with GDPR and applicable local data protection laws. Participants can access, correct, export and erase their data; the organization can ask for a full export of its program data at any time. Visibility of contact details and notes is set per role.
- Traffic is encrypted with TLS, passwords are stored hashed and access to production data is restricted. Security questionnaires, a data processing agreement and data-location questions are handled with the quote.
- Works with Zoom, Google Meet and Calendar, Microsoft Teams and Outlook, built-in Jitsi video, and Excel/CSV import and export. Mentornity connects to other systems such as an LMS on request, and adapts the platform to an organization's own process.

### Languages

Participants use the platform, and receive its emails, in their own language: English, Turkish, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese or Dutch. The admin panel runs in the same eight languages.
