Diversiboard Experiences 50% Growth With More Community Engagement on ScaleGrowth.AI Platform
Diversiboard is the world's largest platform and professional network dedicated to supporting individuals of African and Caribbean descent throughout their careers. They are a collective university alumni network, partnering with all of the top universities and focused on helping students from African and Caribbean colleges and universities apply for graduate studies in the U.S., as well as assisting alumni of U.S. institutions in advancing their careers. The Diversiboard team describes its mission as supporting careers from "education to professional success."
Challenge:
When Diversiboard approached ScaleGrowth, they had built a network community on a home-grown technology platform using no-code solutions and had spent considerable money hiring a team of developers. They were just starting to see some momentum with thousands of users starting to engage within the community showing them that there was a great need for their resources. Unfortunately, the no-code solutions didn’t work well for integrations and were missing the latest in modern technology and AI features. It quickly became clear that they were facing challenges typical of building a world-leading marketplace and professional network on a no-code platform like Bubble. Specifically, it lacked personalization features, including personalized recommendations and AI-driven engagement automation, which made it difficult to enhance its growth engine to reach the hundreds of thousands of users Diversiboard aspired to capture.
Solution:
Diversiboard chose ScaleGrowth due to our team’s expertise in modern technology and AI solutions and the powerful features of the platform that included AI and personalization recommendations, engagement automation, and built-in growth tools. Our team collaborated closely with Diversiboard, and within less than a month, for a much lower cost, their alumni network portal and application were relaunched with great success. The new platform featured advanced personalization and AI-driven engagement tools tailored to Diversiboard's unique user journeys and use cases.
“I was introduced to ScaleGrowth through a close friend who was already a happy client. We have been growing rapidly, adding tens of thousands of members in a short time. ScaleGrowth has been a wonderful partner to support our strong growth trajectory. Excellent features! No downtime! Wonderfully responsive technical support! Joining ScaleGrowth is one of the best decisions that our company has made!” — Eleanor Brown | Founder @ DiversiBoard | Techstars '22 | Professor of Law
Results:
The impact of the relaunch was immediate and significant. In the first six months following the launch, Diversiboard experienced over 50% growth in membership numbers. The customization capabilities and adaptability of ScaleGrowth's custom data model were crucial in achieving these results. (100k users now)
Success:
- AI-First and Personalization-First Platform: ScaleGrowth brings an extremely powerful AI-first and personalization-first platform, which is traditionally very expensive to create in-house and requires rare world-class expertise.

- Empowerment and Speed: ScaleGrowth's tools enabled the Diversiboard team to move fast, scale their operations, and engage their community at a rapid pace.

Prembly: One of the largest identity verification providers, crucial for international graduate study and job placement, and 3. Flutterwave: The second-largest payment platform after Stripe, and a major competitor globally.
Conclusion:
Diversiboard's transformation through ScaleGrowth highlights the power of advanced personalization, customization, and rapid engagement in driving growth for alumni networks. By leveraging ScaleGrowth's robust platform and key partnerships, Diversiboard has solidified its position as a leading platform for professionals of African and Caribbean descent.
