Hoopstr Advance
Run mentorship tracks at your institution — with alumni mentors, curated tracks, and end-to-end delivery from Hoopstr.
The model
Mentors, tracks, and operations — handled.
You don't build a mentor pool, design a curriculum, or staff a delivery team. We bring all three.
We find alumni mentors
From your alumni network and ours — vetted for domain depth and teaching.
We design the tracks
Curated curriculum, project-based learning mapped to industry.
We run the tracks
Matching, scheduling, reviews, async support — we run the whole track.
Revenue-sharing model.
Institutions pay nothing. Participants pay program fees; a share flows back.
