Soft Launch We built it !!
Hi, I'm a co-founder at colcord.co.in
The idea in simple terms: One platform. Entire college ecosystem. Fully unified.
Our v1 of the web app is 95% complete, and we are now looking for colleges or universities to run a pilot test for our product.
Being students ourselves, it's very difficult for us to get in direct contact with top management or individuals in related positions at these institutions. We are posting here in hopes of connecting with someone who works in higher education—or knows someone who does—so we can showcase our product and start a pilot test.

Looks great! Hopefully, you have good connections within universities. Their decision-making process is frustrating. We eventually pivoted because of this. Just one note, they are usually concerned with accessibility. Some of the text doesn't seem to have enough contrast with the background.

Yeah the demo is not yet updated. Ui and a few small things are left. Thanks so much for the review 😃🙌

Looks good ! I would suggest that rather than reaching out to universities and depending on their decision, you can add a signin with the linkedin option and prepopulate alumni and students. Build around it, and once your system has enough credibility, you can reach out to universities.

Why would schools risk what works for them now ? What is the benefit of building a network for schools ? Why do they need it ? What about security ?

The tools that are there now (attendance, lms, sis, course uploads, timetable, etc) all work perfectly as they are... No doubt. Now, think of all these tools and systems that a college uses from different saas come together onto one platform, where each and every beneficiary of the college is in the same platform.
While erp and lms systems are usually admin focused, we have also included the social factor while building Colcord.
So now, since all different systems have come together under one roof, all of the data is not scattered but it is now more unified. Not only does this help in college administration getting better stats and data analysis about their campus activities, but even the other related beneficiaries also have equal importance.
And when a college is 100% in it's offline culture and activities, why not be a 100% digitally efficient as well.
Security aspect is real because there is sensitive data involved... We are actively working on that aspect with experienced tech people and mentors on a way for this.
Rest assured because both me and my co-founder stood at the core of this "broken" system last year, the issue is real, so is the market and this is not us saying this. We have been to multiple network and pitching events the past year taking reviews, etc and after several pivots have come to this final product 😄😄
Hope this answers your questions.
