Your AltSchool,
beyond AltSchool.

About AltBase
A private network for AltSchool alumni.
AltBase is a private social and professional network for verified graduates of AltSchool. Alumni use it to build a public profile tied to their track and cohort, share updates and ask questions in a searchable feed, post collaboration projects to find teammates, share job and referral opportunities, and host workshops and AMAs for the network.
AltBase is invite-only and free for alumni. New members sign in with a Google account or email — we use your basic Google profile (name, email, photo) only to create your AltBase account and verify your identity, never to access your other Google data.
Four pillars
Everything the WhatsApp group wasn't built for.
Structured spaces for identity, conversation, and collaboration, so knowledge doesn't decay and opportunities don't get missed.
Verified identity
One profile, tied to your AltSchool track and cohort. Every peer can find you in one place.
Town Hall
A searchable feed that replaces WhatsApp scroll. Great advice stays findable.
Collaboration Board
Post the roles you need. Interested alumni reach out privately, no public shouting.
Growth & knowledge
Showcase work, curate resources, attend alumni workshops. One ecosystem for career momentum.
