How we keep it honest

KeyBee is never paid when you enrol.

We’re paid by Lebanese universities who subscribe to see where their graduates go — not by destination schools, and never on your enrolment. That means the matching layer has zero financial stake in which school you pick. This page is the list of rules that keeps it that way.

What’s true today

0 consented schools in the network, 0 active alumni. We’re a launch from zero — this number will be small for a while, and we’d rather show it honestly than pad it.

01

We never call a university a “partner.”

Our own referral agreement with POLIMI GSoM states, in writing, that no partnership or association exists between us. We say “schools in the network” instead — because that's what's actually true.

02

We're not a party to what an alumnus does with their own school.

Where an alumnus holds a referral agreement with their own school, that's entirely their decision, happens outside KeyBee, and we take no part in it and no share of it. We don't track it, broker it, or record it.

03

No school's commercial terms are ever shown.

No fees, no tuition figures, no discounts, no scholarships, no admission terms. Not on a profile, not on a card, nowhere in the product — because we don't have that information to begin with.

04

No school is ever advantaged over another.

Same card treatment, same ordering, whether a school has consented to being named or not. Matching is by fit to your brief only — never by which school pays us anything, because none of them do.

05

Every match spans more than one school.

A single-school match is a bug, not a feature — it's enforced by the database, not a promise we could quietly break.

06

No admission promises, no numbers we can't source.

No acceptance rates, no rankings, no outcome statistics we made up to sound credible.

07

We don't screen or score students for worthiness. Ever.

Our matching model looks for shared route — programme, city, background — never a judgment of you. It's not an admissions filter: it recommends who to introduce you to, it doesn't decide whether you deserve it. If it can't find a confident match, a person follows up by hand. The alumnus reads your real profile, not a score. We're not an advisor: we don't recommend or rank schools for you.

08

No brief shared without your consent.

Your brief isn't shared with anyone until you've given a specific, recorded privacy authorisation — separate from just agreeing to be contacted. It reaches only the alumni you're matched with, never a university, never a school.

If any of this ever stops being true, that’s a bug in the product, not a policy change — tell us.
