WHAT PROGRAM LEADS TELL US

Sound familiar?

Keeping track of every participant

Progress, attendance and office hours live in separate apps, and someone spends the week chasing updates.

SOLVED BY
Applications in forms, sheets and email

Reviewers score in different places, and decisions wait until every score is chased down.

SOLVED BY
Rebuilding the impact report every cohort

Onboarding and outcome data is scattered, so KPI analysis and impact report creation take days.

SOLVED BY
Feedback that doesn't scale

Mentor scheduling and session feedback are disconnected, so participants wait days or go without clear next steps on deliverables.

SOLVED BY
HOW IT WORKS

Four tools. One sign-in.

Use one tool or all four. Each person is added once, and their data follows them from application to outcome.

  1. 01
    Your program's portal

    Progress, attendance, office hours, tasks and badges for every cohort, in your brand and your words.

  2. 02
    Applications and impact surveys

    Applications: open applications, screen and accept people, and welcome them in one place.

    Impact tracking: survey participants before, during and after the program, with the answers turned into ready-to-share reports.

  3. 03
    Courses and certificates

    Courses, lessons, assignments and certificates. Or keep the LMS you already use.

  4. 04
    Feedback against your rubric

    Every participant's work scored against your rubric, with clear next steps. Instructors review and stay in charge.

One sign-in
Everyone signs in once and sees only the tools your program uses.
One list of people
Add someone once. Their role carries across every step.
One Admin Console
Run your people, settings and steps from one place.
SEE THEM IN ACTION

Every tool is live today. Use one, or all of them together.

ABOUT

Built by a nonprofit that runs cohorts too.

Max University is a program of The Boost Pad Inc., a nonprofit in Charlotte, North Carolina. We built these tools for our own accelerator first, then opened them up so every program can give its people the support they deserve.

  • Each organization's data walled off from every other
  • CoachMax never trains AI models on participants' work
  • People stay in charge: instructors review and decide
