Alumni FGV EAESP

What Alumni FGV EAESP does

Alumni FGV EAESP is the official lifelong alumni community of the Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo (FGV EAESP), operated under Fundação Getulio Vargas, a Brazilian private non-profit foundation. Created in 2013, the Alumni program serves as a permanent channel connecting the school with its 43,000 former students and professors, providing digital networking, career development, mentorship, and institutional engagement across Brazil and international chapters.

The core product is a digital alumni platform hosted at gvalumni.com and accessible via the Graduway Community mobile application for iOS and Android, which delivers interest-based groups, professional exchanges, and curated opportunities. Complementary offerings include the Carteirinha Vitalícia (lifetime physical and digital ID card granting campus, library, and alumni-space access plus a 50% Cine Belas Artes discount), Financial Times portal access through the alumni intranet, career coaching sessions led by alumni, and structured mentorship via 1,000+ volunteer mentors. The underlying tech stack is a white-label SaaS (Graduway), not proprietary AI or platform infrastructure.

Alumni FGV EAESP does not monetize its membership base directly; rather, it functions as a community and engagement layer that supports the broader FGV EAESP business model (tuition-driven, with doctoral programs priced up to R$250,000 and master's programs R$93K–R$150K), the SOMA FGV donation channel for scholarships (30% of undergraduates receive financial aid), and adjacent ecosystem programs such as GV Angels (300+ alumni angel investors funding 50+ startups), FGV Ventures (80+ startups accelerated), and LEFGV (R$60 million deployed). The go-to-market is sales-led through the FGV EAESP Admissions Office, supported by a multi-channel presence across Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, the Blog Impacto, FGV Notícias, and campus events. The Alumni unit itself operates with a lean team of approximately 16 employees, while the parent institution supports 240+ professors across 8 departments, 25 research centers, and 130+ international academic partnerships spanning 38 countries.
