One connected system, not six point tools
The reason Kannect works is that nothing is bolted on. Every part draws on the same foundation.
One member list
Every event, message, and group draws on the same member record. Nothing is re-entered or re-uploaded.
One dashboard
Run events, communication, groups, payments, and campaigns from a single place built for your team.
One member app
Members get everything from your organization in the Kannect Community Hub app, on iOS and Android.
What used to take six to ten tools, runs on one operating system
Communities have been stitching together a stack to do what one platform should: an event tool, an email service, a website builder, a chat app, a spreadsheet, and a payment processor. Kannect replaces the whole thing.
Kannect Events
Free and paid events with a 2% platform fee, not 10–14%.
Kannect Communication
Unlimited announcements that reach every opted-in member.
The Kannect Community Hub app
A real home for your community — no algorithm, no ads.
Public community pages
A full event-driven website included on every plan.
Kannect Members & Groups
One member record across every event, message, and group.
Kannect Campaigns
0% Kannect fee on registered-nonprofit donations.
Kannect Discover
Independent, verified, free of algorithms and ads.
Kannect Insights
See who shows up and who is drifting, by group and event.
Built on four principles no one else commits to
Kannect is not a feed. It is not a listing. It is not a ticketing tool. It is the operating system communities run on — built on four principles every other platform refuses to make.
Independence
Bending Spoons, a holding company known for buying consumer apps, raising prices, and cutting support, now owns both Meetup and Eventbrite. Kannect is independent and founder-run. It answers to the communities it serves, not to an acquirer's returns.
Verification
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 message reaches every opted-in member. No algorithm decides who hears you, no ad budget controls who sees you, no feed buries you. The Reach Promise is not a feature — it is the contract.
Ownership
Your community. Your members. Your data. Yours to keep. Request a copy anytime 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.
Built for the organizations that bring people together
Kannect is the operating system for the people doing real work in real communities — not influencers, not creators chasing a feed.
Nonprofits
0% Kannect fee on donations. Every dollar to the cause.
Chambers
Member directory, events, dues, and engagement in one place.
K–12 & PTAs
Reach every family. Replace newsletters, sign-ups, and fee collection.
Universities
Alumni, students, clubs, and giving on one verified platform.
Local government
Citizen engagement, public events, and announcements that reach residents.
Public safety
Trusted communication to neighborhoods, schools, and partners.
Faith communities
Services, small groups, giving, and care in one verified home.
Membership orgs
Associations, clubs, and member groups — dues, events, and engagement together.
Questions about the platform
Is Kannect one product, or a bundle of tools?
One platform. Events, communication, members, groups, content, payments, and discovery all share the same member record, dashboard, and member app. Nothing is bolted on.
How long does it take to launch a community on Kannect?
Most organizations are up in under five minutes. Add your community, invite your team, import or invite members, and start running events the same day.
Do members need a separate account for each organization?
No. Members use one Kannect account across every organization they belong to. The Kannect Community Hub app on iOS and Android brings everything together.
What does Kannect charge for paid events and donations?
A 2% Kannect platform fee on paid events, programs, and memberships, and 0% Kannect fee on nonprofit donations. Standard Stripe processing fees apply on top.
Will every announcement actually reach our members?
Yes. Every opted-in member receives every announcement. No algorithm decides who hears you. We call this the Reach Promise — it is a contract, not a feature.
Can we move our community off Kannect later?
Yes. Your members, events, and content are yours. Request a full export by email and we deliver within 30 days. Kannect runs the operating system; what runs on it belongs to you.
