Students don’t always know who to ask, or that asking is even an option.
Give every student access to exactly what they need, at exactly the right time.
Scale personalised student & career support with AI-guided matching and a verified supporter network.
Most people don't lack talent. They lack access.

The problem
Talent is everywhere. Access is not.
Careers teams can’t personally support every student at exactly the right moment.
Opportunities move through networks that many students simply cannot see.
What Dayo does
From “I'm stuck” to exactly what's needed.

dOS · the Dayo operating system
For universities
A student success layer for modern universities.
Dayo sits alongside your careers service, extending its reach to every student, at the moments that matter.
Scale support without losing the human touch
Every student gets a personal path to the right kind of help, without adding headcount to your careers team.
Activate alumni and supporter networks
Turn goodwill into structured, low-effort ways for alumni and partners to actually help.
Practical access for underrepresented students
Students without inherited networks get the introductions others take for granted.
From uncertainty to next steps
Students leave every interaction with a concrete action: a call booked, a review scheduled, a door opened.
Clearer insight into student needs
See what students are actually asking for, where they get stuck, and which support moves the needle.
Insight
Intelligence no survey can match.
Real-time reports on what students are asking, where they are getting stuck, and what demand is going unmet, by discipline, demographic, and time of year.
Granular, behavioural, actionable. Leadership gets a direct line of sight into student need that existing systems cannot produce.

Illustrative data
Example journeys
Small introductions. Different trajectories.
First-generation student
“Nobody in my family has worked in an office. I don’t even know what jobs exist.”
Dayo's move
Matched with an alumna in consulting for a 30-minute sector chat, followed by an introduction to a graduate scheme contact.
Internship applicant
“My applications keep disappearing into a void. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.”
Dayo's move
Connected to a hiring manager for CV feedback, then a mock interview with a mentor in the same industry.
Recent graduate
“I know exactly where I want to work. I just can’t get anyone there to talk to me.”
Dayo's move
A warm introduction to an alumnus inside the target company, with context on the role and a reason to say yes.
The network flywheel
A network that compounds, year after year.
Students who receive help progress, and return as supporters. Every cohort makes your university's network stronger for the next one.

“What I appreciated most was how personal it felt. Dayo did not just connect me to a random contact. The match made sense for where I was trying to go.”
“Before Dayo, I honestly felt like I was trying to figure everything out on my own. I knew I needed guidance, but I didn’t know who to ask or how to even start the conversation. Dayo changed that.”
