As we go on, we remember...

Does your company have an alumni network? If so, why? And if not, why not? Would that be a valuable thing for a company to have?
 
I ask these questions because we, for our ongoing Evolution of a Tech Scene Month, are engaging with the idea of how one company can affect the broader startup ecosystem. Perhaps you remain connected to your former employees, whether through a formal alumni group or informal chats. Or maybe you don't.
 
Let us know how you feel about the idea of alumni networks at companies by replying to this email or sending a note to , anytime.
