We make it simple for all alumni and donors to assist students and graduates

A community’s strength lies in the support it can offer each member. At most institutions, that community engagement is limited to a fraction of alumni because many are busy with their careers, families, and other commitments. You are likely reading this because very few of your alumni have signed up for your networking platform, and even fewer have returned.

But what if it were simple for even the busiest alum to engage and support future, current, and past students? Offer advice and networking opportunities, help learners commit to your institution, choose a major, land an internship, receive real-world resume feedback, select a graduate school, switch jobs, or move abroad?

Without the need to sign up for and learn a new app, and with minimal administrative burden on your already-stretched team — thanks to artificial intelligence doing most of the work.

How? Curious students and graduates ask for advice or networking, and our AI recruits the best alumni and donors to volunteer right from their email.

Our AI converts student curiosity to engagement

What happens when alumni can effortlessly share their insights and open doors for students and fellow graduates? Discover how AI transforms alumni engagement in a real example, perfectly aligned with CASE’s Alumni Engagement Metrics (AEM) framework.

Your alumni crave authentic human connections

We all do — especially in the coming age of “AI empathy.”

Remember how amazing it feels to help someone? Imagine you could deliver that “happiness” to all of your alumni and donors. And thanks to the power of good AI, staff will spend no more than five minutes total connecting alumni and students.

Innovators who trust Protopia

We collaborate with schools of all sizes, both private and public, across North America and Europe. Our partners range from communities with 10,000 to over 500,000 alumni. They all share a common goal: making engagement simple, smart, and inclusive for alumni, students, faculty, donors, and staff.


Duke University, our first customer, partnered with us in 2018 to revolutionize how Blue Devils connect for advice and networking. Read the Duke University case study.


The London School of Economics selected Protopia in the Fall of 2022 to scale alumni engagement and volunteering by empowering all of its global alumni and students to network with one another (without another app). Review the LSE case study.


Denison University launched Protopia as a graduation gift for its seniors in Spring 2023, achieving its launch goals within six months. This success was largely due to the exceptional collaboration between the alumni and career services teams. Denison’s President, Adam Weinberg, hailed Protopia as “a game changer.” Dive into the Denison University case study.


Appalachian State University joined forces with Protopia in Fall 2023, initially focusing on keeping young alumni engaged through scalable career support. The solution has since expanded into classrooms and Admissions, connecting future, current, and past students. Learn more in the AppState case study.

Our alumni, our students, and our team are app’d out. We chose Protopia because we need a simple and scalable tool to let our alumni give back without throwing another platform at them.
