A Great Product

I have used Ten Thousand Coffees to stay connected with colleagues, and to connect my students with alumni and other professionals. As a user, I love the introductions as I have now connected with people that I may not have had the opportunity to connect with otherwise. As an administrator I regularly received positive feedback from our students.

Thanks for your review, Kimberley! We're so glad to hear that you are having such positive experiences as both an admin and user. We offer a variety of features that support members taking their conversation offline - like integrating with email and calendar, while still offering the ability to measure the conversations that are happening.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

The platform is easy to navigate, data is thorough and readily accessible, and the team is highly collaborative and supportive. Leveraging 10KC has made it possible for us to scale and manage our enterprise-wide mentorship and networking program that would otherwise require a full team to manually develop, implement, support and manage. The content that 10KC provides is also incredibly helpful and can be curated to support our program goals without the heavy lift of developing all development content to guide participants.

Cons:

The technology automates messages and reminders to participants - which I LOVE - but I wish we could customize the messages' "sender" information so that it appears to come from someone within our organization. I think it would help employees make a faster connection when they receive communications and would reinforce our internal branding.

Reasons for choosing Ten Thousand Coffees (10KC)

Noted "internal" as we'd previously supported a program via internal teams. I cannot disclose the other vendors we considered in the search for an external platform partner however, I can share that 10KC offered the most comprehensive platform that actually addressed our needs as an organization and made it simply to deploy a traditional mentorship program. Other tools we considered had more non-traditional approaches to mentorship and/or employee development that did not directly address the needs of our employee base.

10KC: A must-have software for professional growth and development

Our expectations for using 10KC have been exceeded well beyond what we originally imagined. Networking and mentorship are two of very few top professional growth and development activities, but they can be very time-consuming and bit of hit-or-miss. 10KC successfully eliminates the barriers to excellent networking and mentorship experience. 10KC also includes several other added benefits - such as office hours, scheduling meetings, etc.

A great networking platform for those looking to become a mentor or seeking a mentor in a new field

Overall a positive experiencing to help facilitate connections for being a mentor as well as finding a mentor. 10KC's ability to match you with appropriate mentorship opportunities is my favourite feature and what has been most helpful. Also really like the fact that 10KC is specifically a social networking platform for cultivating mentorships whereas no other platforms (even LinkedIn) offer a similar service.

My favourite feature of 10KC is that it is a networking program focus on mentoring that can help to match you with beneficial connections from both a mentor and mentee perspective.

Cultivating connections and mentorship relationships was not as effortless and streamlined as hoped but that could have also been specific to the institution I was a part of and using 10KC with.
