Running a community on borrowed tools
Most organizations stitch together Facebook for discussion, Eventbrite for tickets, Mailchimp for email, a website builder, and a spreadsheet for members. None of it connects. And the channel you lean on most decides, by algorithm, how few of your people ever see you.
Posts almost nobody sees
On Facebook, organic reach averages a fraction of your members. You post an update. The feed quietly buries it.
Tools that never talk
Your event tool does not know your member list. Your email tool does not know who showed up. You re-enter the same people again and again.
Members you cannot reach
When the algorithm throttles you and inboxes overflow, your most important update simply does not land.
Everything your community needs. One home.
Kannect replaces the fragmented stack with a single platform. You run it all from one dashboard, and your members stay connected through the Kannect mobile app.
Events
Create events with RSVPs, tickets, reminders, and check-in. Free or paid, one-time or recurring.
Messaging and announcements
Reach every member who opted in. Push, email, and emergency announcements that still reach members who muted Kannect's in-app notifications.
Resources and content
Publish articles, documents, and guides so members always have what they need in one place.
Member CRM
One record per person with the full history. Members maintain their own info from the app, so your list never goes stale.
Memberships
A membership with multiple pricing tiers on every plan, or multiple membership types on higher plans. Custom application forms, approval flows, and branded onboarding.
Groups and programs
Organize people into chapters, committees, cohorts, and programs. Each one gets its own conversation, members, and analytics.
Fundraising and donations
Campaigns, sustainer giving, manual gifts, tax notices. Money settles directly to your account through Stripe.
Kannect mobile app
Your branded experience on iOS and Android. Members get your events, announcements, messages, and resources in one home.
Discovery
Your organization, events, and campaigns are discoverable on Kannect Discover, the verified community network.

Independent. Verified. Built for you.
Two things set Kannect apart from the platforms communities have always settled for.
Independent and founder-run
Bending Spoons, a holding company known for buying consumer apps, raising prices, and cutting support, now owns both Meetup and Eventbrite. Kannect is independent. It answers to the communities it serves, not to an acquirer's returns.
Verified and spam-free
Every organization joins through a credit-card-verified trial. That card stops bots and fake organizations before they reach the network. No spam, no scams, no fake listings. When a member finds your community, they know it is real.
Reach every member. Every time.
A community organization is not a content algorithm. It is real people who want to hear from each other reliably.
100% delivery
Every announcement reaches every member who opted in. No algorithm decides who sees your message.
Your community, your members, your data
Yours to keep. Request a full export and we deliver within 30 days. Never sold. Never rented back to you as ads. Kannect runs the operating system; what runs on it belongs to you.
No ads, no algorithm
Your community is not a feed to monetize. No ads between your posts, no paying to boost your own announcement.
