INVESTOR PRESENTATION

uConnect, Inc. uConnect has set out to stimulate the currently fragmented campus recruiting market by creating white-label private social recruiting networks for colleges and universities.

The Problem - Schools After 5 years of studying the campus recruiting market as students, employers and alumni, we came to three major conclusions: 1)Schools are not keeping students & employers engaged 2)Recruiting activity is highly fragmented 3) Brand & university development is suffering as a result.

Implementation

Reverse Recruiting

The Target 3,000+ certified colleges and universities in the U.S in the Northeast (New England + NY + NJ) 50+ colleges and universities in Boston and immediately surrounding areas

Business Model Schools: 1) $5k Recruiting Edge (annual license) 2) $12k Recruiting Edge Premium (annual license) 3) $8k Virtual Student Body (annual license) 4) Maintenance contract (annual fee) Employers: 1) $1k profile and unlimited access (annual fee) 2) $3k profile, unlimited access and recruiting applications Advertising (on uConnect_Labs)

The Problem - Employers After 5 years of studying the campus recruiting market as students, employers and alumni, we came to three major conclusions: 1)Companies, especially SMEs, aren’t traveling campus to campus 2)It’s tedious to post on multiple school’s job boards 3)The process induces overload of unqualified candidates

What campus do you want to recruit at? Boston University uConnect_Labs Bentley University New York University Harvard University UMass Amherst EMPLOYERS Recruit defined networks of campus job seekers

Implementation

uConnect Labs Proprietary network of employers looking to recruiting students Focus on underserved segment of employers Build brand equity of your school and your staff Manage and recruit new employer relationships

The Target Startups SME’s Local businesses Non-profits Community Leaders School Faculty Internships Entry-level Jobs Local Jobs Volunteer Opportunities Community Service Research Projects

Reverse Recruiting

Initially, only for staff Eventually, create a front-end widget, and allow employers and alumni to remotely recruit under school’s umbrella Process is more efficient (time) and effective (matching)

Gamification Revolutionize the online campus recruiting process with the social web

Business Model Schools: 1) $5k Recruiting Edge (annual license) 2) $12k Recruiting Edge Premium (annual license) 3) $8k Virtual Student Body (annual license) 4) Maintenance contract (annual fee) Employers: 1) $1k profile and unlimited access (annual fee) 2) $3k profile, unlimited access and recruiting applications Advertising (on uConnect_Labs)
