Hoopstr Reviews & Product Details

Hoopstr (formerly Vaave) is a SaaS platform built to solve one problem: most alumni networks go quiet after graduation, not because institutions don’t try, but because keeping people engaged year after year takes more than a directory. We make alumni come back, whatever stage your institution is at with alumni engagement today. At the core is an AI-powered, mobile-first alumni app that keeps profiles current, surfaces the right alumni for mentoring, hiring, or donations, and gives institutions and corporates one place to manage their entire network. Hoopstr Live reimagines alumni events around what alumni actually want to attend, while Hoopstr Affinity gives alumni access to member benefits and privileges that make alumni feel valued enough to stay involved. Beyond the platform, Hoopstr runs dedicated programs. Vanguard is our outcome-based program, helping institutions build alumni-driven initiatives mapped to their specific goals, whether that’s placements, mentoring, or engagement, with alumni support throughout. We also have our own Alumni Leadership Program (ALP), a 6-track certification program for alumni officers and anyone involved in alumni relations. It is one of its kind in India, with 1,701+ professionals certified so far.

"PIMR Indore Review"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Hoopstr?

The app is very easy to use and the features serve the purpose of getting connected to the alums through various alumni engagement activities very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoopstr?

Regarding the filters, like company, industry or the location, it doesn't necessarily pics the current one. If an alum has mentioned an industry in past experience too, it picks that one too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hoopstr solving and how is that benefiting you?

An easy way to connect with the alums. An app is a handy tool as anyone can access on a mobile phone. From the point of view of an institute, along with serving the purpose of alumni connection, this kind of initiative is also appreciated by the governing bodies as this shows the commitment of the institute towards development.

"KVAG OSA Experience"

5/5

What do you like best about Hoopstr?

We, the admins are non-IT and not so tech-savvy people, but we are able to use it with a little effort and a couple of additional clicks we are able to administer the site very well. Especially the navigation facility is quite good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoopstr?

Won't be able to comment as of now as in the process of learning and getting adept at this.
