AlumnForce - Mevia

What AlumnForce - Mevia does

AlumnForce, operated by MEVIA, is a French software-as-a-service platform that provides alumni network management solutions to higher education institutions, corporations, and associations. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Courbevoie (Paris), the company delivers its offering as a web and mobile application with GDPR-compliant infrastructure. It serves 350+ customer networks spanning French elite educational institutions (HEC Alumni, Sciences Po, EPFL, CentraleSupélec, Université Paris Saclay, Université de Lille, GEM Alumni, Polytech Lille Alumni) and corporate clients including Adecco Group Alumni and AD Education.

The platform is structured around five interconnected modules: a core alumni community platform (Plateforme Alumni) providing directory, news feed, and engagement features; a career center (Espace Emploi) for job listings and applications; virtual and physical career fair management (Forum Entreprises, including the Lilagora Virtual Career Forum); a mentoring program (Programme Mentoring) supported by a customizable matching algorithm; and a corporate alumni network module (Réseau Corporate). The architecture is extended through an ecosystem of integration partnerships covering employment platforms (Welcome to the Jungle as exclusive partner, JobTeaser, APEC), digital credentials (BCdiploma), electronic signature (Yousign), and supporting services.

MEVIA operates an annual subscription revenue model with pricing scaled to database size, complemented by a fixed setup cost. This produces recurring revenue with built-in expansion as alumni databases grow, and aligns pricing with the customer's network reach. Go-to-market is anchored in the French higher education segment, with visible expansion into corporate alumni and select international markets (Switzerland, Belgium). The company has operated without disclosed external funding, maintains a 1-10 person team, and received Gartner 2025 industry recognition.
