CEMS Entrepreneurs support 200+ ventures from 30+ top business schools and 80+ corporate partners. However, it lacks a centralized portal to manage and scale its network.
Scattered data: data about the ecosystem players and events are scattered in 15+ data sources (airtable, google sheet), resulting in duplications and difficulties in data reusing
Repetitive manual efforts: Scattered data made it challenging to retrieve past info. Therefore, the team had to build a new dataset from scratch for each new initiative, creating more data silos.
Missed scaling opportunities: Since there was no single truth of information, the team found it challenging to scale their initiatives, like data insights overview, venture support match-making, etc.
I joined the team to lead their Tech and automation and built CEMS Entrepreneurs' first venture management portal.
Centralized data: in days, I collected, combined, and cleaned 15+ data sources into one Airtable base.
All-in-one management portal: The team can now manage the entire network (people, venture, partners) and initiatives (acceleration, events, challenges) in one interface
Scaleable automation: We implemented AI and automation to keep the operation agile, from new member registration and event management to data intelligence
With the first centralized portal, the team can now scale its efforts to support hundreds of ventures worldwide.
