One other person who notices you stopped.

Study partners, teammates and mentors, filtered by what people are working on this week rather than by what their bio says. Invisible until you decide otherwise.

The filters

Five ways to narrow it down

Deliberately about current activity rather than credentials. Who is in this module this week is more useful than who has the longest profile.

Track and stage

Engineering, business, design, data or leadership, at school, undergraduate, postgraduate or professional level.

Institution

Your college, your school, or the one you are trying to get into. Only members who published their institution appear.

Working on right now

The single most useful filter: people currently inside the same module or path as you, this week.

Target role

People aiming at the role you are aiming at — usually the group with the most useful advice about the gap.

Looking for

Study partner, discussion group, capstone teammate, hackathon team, mentor. Stated intent, so nobody has to guess.

What it is for

Three reasons people actually use it

Not networking. Each of these has a concrete effect on whether you finish a track.

A study partner beats a study plan

The single strongest predictor of finishing a track is having one other person who notices when you stop. Discovery exists mostly to produce that one person.

Filter to people in the same module this week
Shared progress, if you both opt in
A nudge when your partner falls behind, and vice versa
What it looks like in practice

Two people on the Product Analyst path, three modules in, who booked the same discussion slot and now send each other their memos before submitting.

Teams need finding before they need forming

Hackathons and team formats need three to five people who can actually be relied on. Discovery is where those teams come from, filtered by track and by stated availability.

Filter by track, stage and time zone
See prior team results before you commit
Invitations, not automatic enrolment
A typical use

A hackathon team of four assembled in a day: two engineers, a designer and somebody who has actually written a decision memo before.

Mentors are people slightly ahead

Not a formal programme with applications. The most useful mentor is usually two years ahead on the same path, and discovery is deliberately built to surface those people rather than only the most senior ones.

Filter to people who cleared the module you are stuck in
Mentors opt in per topic, not permanently
A capped number of requests, so nobody is flooded
Why not a formal programme

Formal mentorship schemes match on title and produce one polite call. Matching on "cleared this exact module last term" produces an actually useful forty minutes.

Your privacy

You are invisible until you are not

Five guarantees. If any of them is not true of a feature we are considering, we do not ship the feature.

01

Invisible by default

A new account appears in no search results. Discovery is something you switch on, not something you are enrolled in.

02

You pick what shows

Track, stage, institution, current module, target role — each is a separate toggle, and none of them is all-or-nothing.

03

Requests, not access

Being findable does not make you contactable. A connection request comes first and you can turn requests off entirely.

04

Block and report

Blocking is immediate and mutual. Reports go to a human moderator and get a human answer.

05

Leave any time

Switch discovery off and you disappear from every filter immediately, keeping your existing connections if you want them.

Questions

About discovery

No. Discovery is off until you turn it on, and each field you expose is a separate toggle. An account that never touches the setting never appears in a single result.
Not directly. A connection request comes first, you can decline without a notification going back, and you can disable requests entirely.
Only if you publish it. Some people filter by institution and hide their own, which is fine — the filters and your visibility are independent.
Set "looking for" to teammates and filter by track and time zone. Most teams form in a day or two around a specific event.
Discovery and connections are free for everyone with an account. Advanced filters — target role, current module, prior team results — open up once you own a course.
Off by default

Finishing is easier
with somebody watching.

Turn on the one filter that matters — people in your module this week — and leave the rest off.
