altMBA Alumni Community

Leaders like you.

They’re the ones who have decided to level up, to make a difference, to do work matters.

The altMBA has brought them together and given them the confidence to lead.

They’re contributors like you, who took a leap, stretched themselves and became even more effective change agents.

Leveling up is the choice to become uncomfortable on your way to mattering. To make a bigger impact. To do the work you’re capable of. It’s not something everyone chooses to do.

If you decide to level up, there are over a thousand alumni of the altMBA who have done it too, committed change agents who are eager to welcome you. Learn more about our altMBA alumni and their stories below. They continue to inspire us and other students to keep leaping.

How do alumni keep in touch?

For most workshops, nothing happens once it's over. It ends and everyone is on their own.

With the altMBA, we make it easy to stay connected after the intensive month is over.

On your last day, we will invite you to our exclusive alumni platform, Forward Link, where the altMBA alumni are waiting to meet you. You'll be joined by leaders hailing from 74 countries, and invited to discussions with graduates of the Akimbo workshops as well (more than 10,000 so far).

There are project groups, book groups, and industry-specific conversations. We offer weekly prompts, impromptu discussions and a chance for deeper connections with people from each of our previous sessions.

We have an alumni only Facebook group, LinkedIn group, monthly Akimbo newsletter, directory and informal meet-ups in the real world. We also have a weekly job newsletter, Linchpin Jobs, and we're constantly building and testing new ways to engage with our alumni family.

Time after time, we hear from alumni that the best part of the altMBA is the people that become connected to one another. We hear about alumni becoming friends, going to a fellow alumni's wedding, hiring each other, doing mastermind groups together, grabbing coffee when they're flying through another alumni's city.

We open the doors. The connecting is up to you.
