For EMBA graduates
Half the degree is the people. Don't let them fade.
You didn't go back to school for the diploma alone. Between residencies, group projects, and late nights before deadlines, you built a cohort of accomplished people who know you at your best and your most stretched. Half the value of the degree is the connections you've made.
You've probably already wondered how you're going to keep the vibe going once the program ends. Simmer turns that worry into a small daily habit: reach out to one person, remember what's going on with them, follow up when you said you would.
The program did the scheduling for you
For two years, staying close took no effort. The residency calendar, the study group, and the cohort chat kept everyone in the same room. When the program ends, all of that structure ends with it.
Everyone returns to demanding jobs, families, and full calendars. Nobody means to drift. It happens one busy quarter at a time. Simmer gives your cohort a rhythm that outlasts the residencies.
How Simmer keeps the cohort warm
How Simmer works
A small daily habit
You set the goal: reach out to one to five people a day. Easy to understand, hard to keep up on your own. Simmer holds you to it, a few minutes at a time.
A gentle nudge
Each morning Simmer nudges you toward the goal you chose: follow through, follow up, or step up.
One person, with context
Open Simmer and it will remind you about someone from your contacts, context to jog your memory, suggested conversation starters, and topics you could reflect on.
Reach out, or skip
Decide to reach out to that person, or swipe to skip them for now and try someone else. It can be enough to just say, "Hi."
Pause and jot it down
After you connect, Simmer helps you remember to pause for a moment and capture notes, and set follow up topics with due dates.
Reach your goal for the day
Keep going, connect or skip forward until you hit your outreach goal for the day.
Everyone stays close
Show up like this, one small touch at a time, and your whole network stays warm.
