Alumni identity is one of the strongest forms of belonging there is, and most associations express it with a giant CRM, a "Sign in with Google" button that surrenders data, and a separate ticketing tool for every event. Bothy turns alumni status into a pass your grads carry in their phone: it opens what should be alumni-only, applies member pricing where you sell, and travels with them into the town around campus.

  • Local merchants recognize alumni passes around campus

How it works, start to finish

Create your association in the dashboard and issue your alumni pass.

Invite verified grads and donors by email. The pass lives in their wallet and travels with them, no new login to manage.

Gate the alumni portal and private briefings with SkyeGate, so the content is not in the page until the pass checks out.

Run reunion registration and merch pricing with SkyeWoo, with member pricing applied automatically.

Invite merchants around campus to recognize the alumni pass and offer a standing welcome.

Lapsed members lose access on their own with no cleanup, and alumni status becomes a perk that works all over town.

Town and gown, recognizing each other

An alumni pass is most powerful off campus. The bookstore, the coffee shop, the bar where everyone went, the local hotel: any of them can choose to recognize your alumni and roll out a welcome, on a game weekend or all year round.

You never send them a list. They read an inbound pass and confirm one condition, and the alumni discount applies. Your data never leaves your hands, and your grads feel the association everywhere they go, not just when a renewal letter arrives. That is what turns a membership into a living network.

Common questions

Do alumni need crypto or an app?

No. An alum taps one link and the pass sets up in about a minute with Face ID or just their email. Nothing to install, nothing to buy. Members never pay.

What happens when someone lapses or is no longer a member?

Access tracks qualification, so a lapse quietly removes portal access and member pricing with no manual cleanup. Re-qualifying restores it.

Can local businesses recognize our alumni?

Yes. Any merchant running Bothy can choose to recognize your alumni pass and offer a price, in person through the Scanner or online through browser recognition, without ever receiving your alumni list.

Who owns the alumni data?

You do. Recognition reads an inbound pass and confirms one condition. There is no central registry handed to a tech giant and no list to breach or subpoena.
