The best kind of catch-up? One with the Vollardian alumni crew. 🥂✨

Last week we hosted our annual(ish) alumni event and it was such a joy to see what our incredible former team members are up to.

From founding businesses 🚀, to leading AI transformations inside massive organisations 🤖, to taking a well-earned break and actually smelling the roses 🌸—the range of paths is inspiring, but the energy is always the same: smart, curious, values-driven humans doing great things.

We’re so proud of the community that’s grown around Vollardian 💛 and even prouder of the people we’ve worked alongside.

Until next time! 🥳

One of the highest-impact exercises we run with clients is LinkedIn Mapping—a fast, practical way to find the lowest hanging fruit 🍒 hiding in plain sight.

Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Export your LinkedIn connections
(Settings → Data Privacy → Download Data)

2️⃣ Score each contact:
🔹 1 = Strong connection, could text them now
🔹 2 = Familiar, could reconnect easily
🔹 3 = No recollection of this person

3️⃣ Now do this across the entire team or company—and map it against your leads list. That’s when the magic kicks in ✨ We’ve seen board members, advisors, and investors get involved—because anyone who wants the business to win should.

Suddenly, dream clients aren’t so out of reach.
There’s always someone who knows someone 🤝

Your next best client might already know you. You just haven’t said hi in a while. 👋

At Vollardian, we affectionately call our broader network the Vollardian Skynet.

Yes, we’re big Terminator fans 🤖 — but no, our Skynet won’t threaten civilisation.
It’s just about showing up, staying connected, and being able to offer the right help at the right time.

Take this recent example:
10 years ago, someone in our team made a connection at their first job.
Years passed. The odd message here, a congrats there.

When the time came to ask for help, that person introduced us to two incredible clients — who then referred us on again. 🔁

Separately, another client referred an old boss back to us.
And the kicker? That old boss was looking for the exact platform that the original connection from 10 years ago now runs.

No referral fee. No partnership agreement.
Just 👥 human connection, 👀 identifying needs, and 🙌 being willing to help.

This is how good work and good people create momentum.

Last week we had another portrait session at Vollardian! 🎨✨

Our painting tradition started on a whim years ago, and now we have over 25 portraits of current and former team members. Every new starter paints a portrait of another team member—some are impressive, some… more abstract, but all are part of what makes Vollardian, Vollardian.

It loosely ties back to our name—Vollardian, after Ambroise Vollard, the French art dealer. Train of thought being - Art dealer → artwork → paintings of our people. This time, our Vietnam team joined in, painting Sydney team members live over video.

A fun (and slightly chaotic) way to spend a Friday arvo

While gender inequality persists (and in some places is going backwards), one thing remains certain at Vollardian –

💜 We are committed to always having a diverse team

Here’s to standing up for women’s rights and sharing a donut (or two) along the way.

⭐ Exploring the Future of Real Estate with AI and ML ⭐

We had an incredible workshop where the teams from Vollardian and our partners at Quadruple AI came together with Christine (CEO) and Ruth (COO) of LJH to dive deep into how machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) can address key challenges in the real estate space.

The discussions were nothing short of inspiring! Hearing firsthand from Christine and Ruth about their invaluable experience in the sector was a game-changer. Their insights shed light on the unique needs of franchisors, franchisees, sellers, home buyers, and renters alike — and how technology can help bridge the gaps.

At Vollardian, we’re passionate about leveraging data-driven solutions to create meaningful impact, and we’re thrilled to collaborate with industry leaders like LJH to bring these innovations to life.

The future of real estate is bright, and we look forward to working together to empower the sector with transformative data solutions.
