Circuit matches students and early-career professionals with mentors in law, VC, and tech — based on interest, not just who you know.
WHY THIS EXISTS
LinkedIn, firm sites, alumni databases. You're not even sure they're the right fit before you start.
It costs you time, energy, and confidence. Most don't reply. Some aren't even the right person.
You only see people from your institution. The best connections often have nothing to do with where you went to school.
“Sending a cold email always felt like dropping a message into the abyss. I'd spent hours trying to find the right person — and even then, I wasn't sure they were open to it. The connections that actually mattered came from shared interest or shared experience. I built Circuit because that discovery shouldn't take this long.”
— Jake Weintraub, Founder · Brooklyn Law '28 · Gunderson Dettmer SA '27
THE PRODUCT
Select your target verticals, practice areas, and career goals. Your alumni connections are inputs — not walls.
5 curated mentor cards every Sunday at 9pm. AI-matched on interest overlap.
Attach a specific goal. The mentor sees why you want to connect before approving.
No Zoom links. Video call happens inside Circuit.
FOR MENTORS
Set your criteria once. Approve every match. Cap your volume. Pause any time. Your calendar is never touched without consent.
AI filters before you see a single request. Only prepared, interest-aligned mentees get through. No cold inbound. Ever.
Permanent, public, LinkedIn-linkable badge — specific to your city and vertical. Activates after your first completed call. First-mover positioning that never expires.
The student who needs you most may not go to your alma mater. Circuit finds them by interest, not institution.
“Circuit gives you a clean, controlled way to be the person you wished existed when you were starting out — without it costing you your calendar.”
