Reviews of Ten Thousand Coffees (10KC)
Great product to enable early career connectivity in a virtual workforce
Pros:
Love the automated smart matching and overall automation which saves our early career team time and resources in running a summer intern networking program. Also it is a very user-friendly product with smart nudges and reminders.
Cons:
Would like to see direct calendar integration and more features on the hub itself.

10KC: A must-have software for professional growth and development
Comments: Our expectations for using 10KC have been exceeded well beyond what we originally imagined. Networking and mentorship are two of very few top professional growth and development activities, but they can be very time-consuming and bit of hit-or-miss. 10KC successfully eliminates the barriers to excellent networking and mentorship experience. 10KC also includes several other added benefits - such as office hours, scheduling meetings, etc.
Pros:
10KC exceeded my expectations regarding value for participants; the software eliminated guess work that are commonly associated with professional mentorship and networking.
Cons:
I cannot think of what I like least about 10KC at this time.

Hi Okey, thank you for the review. We are thrilled to hear that you're having a great experience with 10KC and utilizing the Office Hours feature. Thanks for being a great partner!
Great potential
Pros:
The Ten Thousand Coffees program has great potential to create meaningful and impactful networking relationships especially in our virtual world. I am part of a college hub and when used, the students get a lot of great practice networking virtually. The biggest issue is engagement (what isn't though!).
Cons:
I think an app with a chat/search/push notification of monthly matches/office hours would make the software better utilized amongst student users.

Thanks for your review, Jennifer! We're so glad you love our platform. Our focus is delivering our experience with as little friction as possible, so rather than an app (which adds an extra download step and is frequently abandoned!) we integrate with tools our members use every day like email, calendar, Slack and Teams. This is why we see the best adoption and engagement in the industry.

Pros:
Ease of use, functionality, presentation, user experience
Cons:
Integrated meetings, otherwise, the software was fantastic.
