Sponsorship, sorted for college fests.
SponsrMitra helps Indian college fest teams keep the whole sponsor hunt in one place - the target, the companies, every follow-up - and ask their own alumni for an introduction.
We’re setting SponsrMitra up for its first fests and brands.
Every year, each fest team starts from scratch.
Sponsorship teams change every year. Contacts, past deals and what worked often leave with the people who graduate.
Cold emails and guesswork
- A contact list copied from last year, with no way to tell which emails still work.
- Emails to companies that may not sponsor fests at all.
- No clear idea of what a fair ask is for a fest of your size.
- Notes spread across chats and spreadsheets that the next team never sees.
A shared plan for the whole team
- Your team’s own company list, plus sponsor companies we add as each one is checked.
- A target for your fest, split into confirmed, likely and hoped for.
- Introductions through alumni of your own college.
- One pipeline your whole team works from and hands over to next year’s team.
From a target to a sponsor report, in three steps.
Set a realistic target
Set a sponsorship target for your fest and split it into confirmed, likely and hoped for, so everyone sees the same goal.
Find sponsors and ask for an introduction
Browse sponsor companies. If an alumnus of your college works at one, ask them to introduce your fest.
Run the pipeline as a team
Track every conversation, deal, deliverable and payment in one place, then share a report with each sponsor.
Contacts checked before they are listed.
Companies join SponsrMitra one at a time, and a person checks each contact before it appears. The app shows when that last happened.
- Contacts are re-checked regularly, and anything older than 60 days is marked for a re-check.
- A contact’s email stays hidden until your fest reaches out to that company.
- If an email bounces, you can report it and we fix it.
Honest benchmarks, or no number at all.
When enough fest teams have reported what they raised, SponsrMitra shows ranges by fest type, size and sponsor type.
- Until at least five fests are behind a range, you see “Not enough data yet” instead of a number.
- Each range shows how many fests it is based on.
Introductions through your own alumni.
Alumni of your college can join and say where they work. You can ask one of them to introduce your fest to their company.
- They answer with one tap: introduce, decline or suggest someone else.
- Alumni appear only to fests from their own college.
- Each alumnus chooses how many requests they accept in a month.
For fest teams, brands and alumni.
Fest teams
Leads, members and a view-only convenor share one pipeline, see what needs doing next and hand over to next year’s team.
Brand managers
Receive requests in one standard format. Accept, decline with a reason or ask a question, compare fests side by side and limit how many requests arrive.
Alumni
Get introduction requests from fests at your own college and answer each one with a single tap.
A person checks every listing.
Our verification desk checks every fest, brand, alumnus and contact before others can see them, and records how each check was done.
Fests
Checked through a college email and faculty confirmation, or the student affairs office.
Brands and contacts
Checked with a test email, a phone call or confirmation from the brand.
Alumni
Checked against college alumni records or a LinkedIn profile.
Re-checks and reports
Contacts are re-checked within 90 days. Anyone can report a bounced email or a listing that looks wrong, and the desk reviews it.
Questions, answered plainly.
Is SponsrMitra open now?
Not yet. We’re setting it up for its first fests and brands. Write to us to ask for early access.
How do I sign in?
Open the app and enter your email. We’ll send you a code to sign in. There are no passwords.
Which fests can join?
Fests at colleges in India. Everything in SponsrMitra assumes India for now. A fest can send requests once our desk has verified it.
How are contact details protected?
A brand contact’s email stays hidden until your fest reaches out to that company. Alumni appear only to fests from their own college. Other fests never see your pipeline.
Where do the benchmark figures come from?
From figures fest teams report to our verification desk. A range appears only when at least five fests are behind it. Until then you see “Not enough data yet”.
Does money move through SponsrMitra?
No. You can record deals and payments to keep track of them, but payments happen outside the app.
How will I hear about replies?
Alerts appear inside the app. There are no email or WhatsApp alerts yet, and the app checks for updates every 20 seconds rather than instantly.
Can I remove my data?
Signed-in users can download or delete their data from their profile page. If you are a company contact and want to be removed, write to us.
Ask for early access
We’re opening to a small group of fests and brands first. Write to us with your fest or company name and your city.
