Step 1 · reply-likely match

Alma finds someone worth emailing

Jordan Lee is in our private recruiting database: same school, studied engineering before banking, works with software companies, and has replied to student cold emails before.

This is the loop Alma repeats: find a reply-likely person, write a believable ask, get your approval, then keep track of the reply.

No AI tells

You should not sound like a finance expert.You should sound worth helping.

Same student, same banker, same ask. The difference is whether the email pretends or opens a real beginner conversation.

Typical AI cold email

Hi Jordan,

I hope this email finds you well. I'm a sophomore passionate about finance and excited by investment banking. I would love to learn more about your journey and deeply appreciate 15 minutes of your time for a virtual coffee.

Best,
Nia

What Alma sends

Hi Jordan,

I'm an architecture major just starting to learn how students break into banking. I saw you studied engineering before moving into a group that works with software companies, and I wanted to ask how you explained a non-finance background in recruiting.

Would 15 minutes by phone next week work?

Nia

Clear background. Real common ground. One concrete ask. The email shows curiosity without pretending the student already knows the job inside out.

Learns from you

Your edits become better next drafts.

Alma improves in two ways: the product learns from early-user feedback, and your own drafts learn from your edits, skips, replies, and preferences.

Your personal voice loop

“Too formal” today should change tomorrow’s emails

Live

Feedback you give

Edit a sentence, skip a banker, or say “this sounds fake.” Alma uses that on your next batch.

More context over time

Beta users will get short check-ins and optional Gmail tone review, with permission, so drafts get closer to how they actually write.

This is why early users matter: every real edit turns into a better personal system.

Review less as trust builds

Start with a quick check.Let Alma take more once it proves itself.

Current mode: Review first

Alma finds reply-likely alumni and bankers, writes the email, and places it in Gmail. You approve, edit, or skip before anything sends.

Early users start review-first. More automation is optional, earned, and reversible.

The IB funnel, honestly

The students who win keep showing up.Consistency wins.

IB recruiting starts before referrals and interviews: find the right people, send thoughtful emails, get replies, book coffee chats, then earn the next step. Alma turns that grind into a repeatable system.

Honest answers

Questions worth asking.

What exactly does Alma do?

Alma helps with the networking work before applications: finding people to talk to, drafting the first email, following up, and keeping track of who replied. The goal is to turn a cold list into real conversations.

Why connect my Gmail?

So drafts live in your real school inbox and replies land where you already work. Today Alma creates Gmail drafts and watches Alma-started threads for replies. Optional tone review from recent sent-email examples will be permissioned, visible, and revocable.

Does Alma send emails without me?

Not at the start. Alma creates Gmail drafts first. You can edit, approve, skip, or ask for a rewrite before anything leaves your inbox. More automation is optional later.

What does a launch seat include?

The first 50 Brown/Rice students get Alma free for the 2026 recruiting cycle. We are opening seats carefully because Alma uses your real inbox and real recruiting pipeline. Students from other schools can still request access and join the waitlist.

I'm not a finance major. Does that matter?

No. That is exactly who Alma is for. One early tester was an architecture major with no finance background and no banking LinkedIn presence. After 30 Alma-assisted emails, she booked 3 coffee chats with bankers. Alma helps you sound curious and prepared, not like you are pretending.

Which banks do you cover?

During setup you pick the banks you care about. Alma starts with major investment banking targets and prioritizes people with some reason to reply: same school, similar major, shared club, or a relevant career path.

Will every email sound the same?

No. Alma uses your resume, school, target banks, edits, and skip feedback. If you change a phrase, say a draft sounds off, or give tone preferences, the next batch should move closer to you.

Can I request access if I am not at Brown or Rice?

Yes. Brown and Rice students are first priority this week, but students from other schools can request access and join the waitlist as we open more seats.
