For investors
Every school, team, congregation and HOA has a community around it. The organization emails them, and they talk to each other in a group chat it can't see. OurHive is one private place for both, and the organization pays for it.

OurHive
Members and the organization in one place, built on its own member list. Hive Assistant does the follow-up the same few used to do by hand.
Members already answer each other's questions. In a group chat, those answers scroll away.
Hive Assistant answers members from what their community already posted.
One product can fit a congregation and a gym without a consultant to set it up.
An admin describes the job in a sentence and gets a draft.
Serving many small organizations no longer needs a big team.
We rebuilt the whole platform in months, messaging layer included.
"Our" means a community's data stays with it and works for it. Carpool.School proved the idea for one kind of community. OurHive is the platform for every kind.
Free communities lead to paid ones. OurHive Labs, our services arm, is a second line of revenue and where the next product is found.
