Turn your alumni list into real relationships — curated 1:1 conversations that keep people connected long after graduation (or the program ends).

Professionals connecting in conversation
Drive engagement

Professional Communities

Build trust, mentorship, and peer learning without introducing another platform people won’t use. Just matching + a calendar link.

Association members collaborating
Create value

Associations

Bring your membership to life with structured 1:1 connection across chapters, regions, working groups, and new member cohorts.

What people say about our community

This is what we care about most: members feeling seen, supported, and more connected — one conversation at a time.

Participating in chats has opened up new insights, new colleagues, and new opportunities. Every 30-minute chat is different and they’ve all been wonderful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Here are the ones we hear most often about Community Hives — in plain language, no tech headache required.

What is Community Hives, and how does it work?

Community Hives helps your members meet through short, curated 1:1 conversations. You decide the cadence and the “rules of engagement,” and we handle matching, scheduling, reminders, and post-chat feedback.

How do you make matches feel relevant?

Matches are based on your intake questions and the matching approach you choose (rules-based, curated, or blended). The goal is a pairing that actually makes sense — shared goals, similar interests, and compatible availability.

Do members need a login or an app?

Nope. That’s the point. Members receive everything by email — their match, calendar link, reminders, and feedback form — with no new platform to learn.

Does this replace our existing community platform?

Usually it complements it. Many communities keep Slack, Circle, Higher Logic, or a Facebook group, and use Community Hives to spark real relationship-based connection that platforms alone don’t create.

How do we track engagement?

You get visibility into participation, attendance, and feedback so you can see what’s working, who’s engaged, and what your members are asking for — without manual spreadsheets.
