INVESTOR PRESENTATION

uConnect, Inc.

uConnect has set out to stimulate the currently fragmented campus recruiting market by creating white-label private social recruiting networks for colleges and universities.

The Problem - SchoolsAfter 5 years of studying the campus recruiting market as students, employers and alumni, we came to three major conclusions:

1)Schools are not keeping students & employers engaged2)Recruiting activity is highly fragmented3) Brand & university development is suffering as a result.

The Problem - EmployersAfter 5 years of studying the campus recruiting market as students, employers and alumni, we came to three major conclusions:

1)Companies, especially SMEs, aren’t traveling campus to campus2)It’s tedious to post on multiple school’s job boards3)The process induces email overload of unqualified candidates
