AFFINITY GROUPS: Putting Our Heads Together
No venture has all the knowledge, resources, and skillsets it needs within its own small team. That’s why we’ve implemented Affinity Groups, a new way to leverage the full breadth of expertise represented across our entire alumni network. Now, each venture can tap into the wealth of career-based knowledge that fellows and alumni bring to the table: coding, marketing, engineering, design, legal, finance, and more.
All of our fellows, along with a select group of alumni, join an Affinity Group aligned with their background. Incoming fellows benefit from these active connections, receiving valuable advice from peers and alumni who were once in their shoes. For alumni, Affinity Groups are a powerful source of continued engagement with the OGS community, offering a way to give back for years to come.
