For mba-students
A personal CRM for MBA students — you're paying six figures for a network. Keep it.
Four hundred new contacts in year one: section mates, coffee chats, alumni calls, recruiting partners. By week six the conversations blur into one. Endearist is where each one stays distinct — through recruiting, graduation, and the twenty years after.
400 contacts in year one — your memory taps out at 40
An MBA is a firehose of people: 90 section mates, club boards, treks, alumni panels, second-years who did your target internship. Your brain was never built to hold that, and the standard fix — a spreadsheet you abandon by November — isn't a fix. Endearist gives each person a page: how you met, what they're recruiting for, what you owe them. The cohort stops being a blur and becomes a map.
Coffee-chat notes, written before they blur
You'll do thirty coffee chats per recruiting season, and by chat twelve you can no longer remember who told you about the rotation program and who hates their staffing model. The move: two minutes in the relationship journal right after each call — what they said, what they offered, the personal detail they volunteered. Your follow-up thank-you then quotes their actual advice back to them. That's the note that gets answered.
"Reach out after internship recruiting" — on schedule
Recruiting runs on deferred invitations: the partner who said to ping her in spring, the alum who wants to hear how the internship went, the second-year who offered a mock interview "closer to the date." Each of those is a door that closes if you forget it. Set a per-contact cadence on every open loop and Endearist surfaces it at the right week — with the original conversation attached, so you never re-introduce yourself.
Graduation scatters the cohort across five continents
The day after graduation, your section is in Singapore, São Paulo, and Seattle, and the group chat goes quiet within a year. The famous MBA network isn't automatic — it's maintained, by the few people who actually keep in touch. Endearist's warmth score shows you which of your fifty real friendships are cooling, and the cadence keeps the twenty that matter on a rhythm. In fifteen years, those are the CEOs who take your call.
Classmates' confidences don't belong in a cloud CRM
You know things: who's secretly recruiting away from consulting, whose startup is wobbling, who's having a brutal semester. Useful context, sensitive content — exactly what should never sit in a startup's database or a spreadsheet shared to the wrong link. Endearist is local-first; notes stay on your device, with optional end-to-end encrypted sync between your phone and laptop. Want AI help drafting follow-ups? Bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic key.
€69 once — a rounding error on your tuition, yours for life
You're investing six figures and two years in this network; the tool that preserves it shouldn't be another subscription that lapses with your student email. Endearist is free up to 25 contacts and €69 once for lifetime — no renewal, no per-seat anything. Import your existing contacts via CSV or vCard, export everything as Markdown whenever you want. The network you paid for stays yours, in a format that outlives any app.
