What’s Next: Evolving Our Product for 2026

The landscape of education, work, and talent is shifting faster than ever—and with it, the expectations for how organizations and learners achieve success. We’ve seen first-hand how mentorship can anchor people through change, providing guidance, belonging, and clarity where traditional systems fall short. 

Where We've Been

We spent 2025 investing in the user experience, directing our efforts toward four key focus areas that enhance autonomy, engagement, and long-term success:

• Easy Connections: Removing early communication barriers with AI-powered Conversation Sparks and expanding the reach of messaging instills confidence and promotes ongoing relationships.
• Empowering Participants: More privacy controls and flexible communication preferences provide greater ownership over participants’ experience.
• Elevate Career Readiness: Embedding robust career tools and resources that support exploration, skill building, and long-term success.
• Iteration & Innovation: Prioritizing user feedback and testing during product development—in short, listening to our best resource: you!  

What’s Next: 2026 Product Roadmap 

As we turn toward 2026, we’re excited to share where we’re headed next. With the foundation built, we’re focused on establishing the AI Mentorship Operating System as the enduring infrastructure that delivers more access, automation, and advanced intelligence.

The Undeniable Foundation 

In the age of AI, human skills are the new currency. Our roadmap is built on this truth. It is a future where connection is reliable, outcomes are measurable, and opportunity is not left to chance.

Mentorship is the proven vehicle for delivering measurable results at scale:

• +6% retention lift for program participants.
• +8–19% boost in sense of belonging.
• +30% increase in career confidence.
• +42% increase in intern-to-full-time conversion.

We don't just match people. We move them forward.
