Pros The multi-functionality, (mostly) intuitive use, the EXCEPTIONAL technical support, and the ability to archive standard exports over many years. Cons It can have glitches and bugs that make it challenging to use at times. It does not offer all of the tracking functionality that I'd like and some aspects are clunky to use (only in some cases).

The team, especially Pam, was always available. Pros It was everything an aspiring entrepreneur needed in one ecosystem. Cons It really needs a mobile app. Mobile-friendly doesn't quit work.

ORED Project Coordinator Program Development ### "Keeping Entrepreneurship Organized " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 June 4, 2024 Pros Startup Tree has enabled us to keep our entrepreneurship components all in one platform. We can post competitions, events, conferences, and mentorships all in one place while getting all the needed metrics. It has saved me much time keeping all this in one place. Cons The only con I have for Startup Tree is for metric questions you have to manually upload each question each time for any event/competition you choose to have. Wish you could save all your metric questions and have them uploaded ready to go instead of manually inputting each question each time you have an event.

It just took a few days which could have been stressful if I were up against a deadline, luckily I was not. Hopefully, Startup Tree learned something as well because they had never seen the error I was seeing before. Pros I recently started using Startup Tree and found it fairly easy to navigate. Some things were not intuitive, but I managed to find what I needed. When I encountered a problem, tech support was there to walk me through the situation. Cons It took several attempts and several days to fix the tech problem I encountered. For some reason, I could not access my account. I tried all the usual fixes like resetting my password, rebooting my computer, etc. During this time I was in contact with Startup Tree via email and they were troubleshooting on their end. They had to reset my password from their side. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Pros It's very clear on how to set up and use. Both students and judges have commented about how easy the process is to use and score. Cons It was a bit of a learning curve but because of how detailed and user friendly it is, that was not really a problem.

We use it for matching mentors, student founders and gigs within the platform. Pros The ability to create community with founders, students, mentors and staff.

Students can remain engaged as they become alumni, and community members can engage as well. Cons I always look forward to the Startup Tree upgrades. They've been shipping new product features left and right, and they are always happy to discuss customization. We wanted more control over our mentor systems and they were able to provide it. Reasons for choosing StartupTree Startup Wind and Trusted Peer were more complicated and more expensive. Notion would have been way more work on our end building the platform backend ourselves.
