Discover a community management platform that helps universities and startup development organizations (accelerators, incubators, co-working operators, startup ecosystem advocate) manage and connect their networks to achieve their objectives.
As a team we have spent decades in the entrepreneurial and innovation space as founders, investors, academics, corporates, and program managers. We have experienced the challenges of managing a community effectively and efficiently, and we believe it comes down to 3 big challenges:
Operational:
Managing a community is not a simple task. It requires attention across a wide range of topics: communication, events, organizing information, document sharing, connecting, content, and more. Unfortunately, the digital tools that exist are limiting and require us to build a “tech-stack” to manage. We need a tool that can support the full functionality of managing a community in one platform.
Connection:
A significant value of community comes from connecting people for a purpose: connecting people, ideas, problems with solutions, content, communities, companies and more. We rely on our personal networks to help us solve problems and being able to scale that value in a digital capacity is vital. Yet, many times our platforms hinder us from doing connecting for a purpose this because they connect us based on ambiguous data such as which school we attended. Wouldn’t it be great to connect for purpose where both parties see value?
Data & Insights:
Being able to see data on your community will help show the value to your organizations. While some basic metrics are necessary to measure engagement and activity, we focus on goal-oriented metrics. Track and achieve your goals for your community.
We organize our platform by the “Village” concept. This is our version of a digital group. You can create more focus by creating sub-villages or hierarchies of villages to support the right structure you need. We then provide curated tools that are embedded in each village to help achieve the Village outcome. Need to run a cohort through a course? We have a learning management tool that can be embedded in your Village.
