If you’re managing a group of members/partners, my startup combines CRM+messaging+robust permissions in one place. Mobilize (mobilize.io) It’s like replacing groups, Mailchimp, groups, Google registration forms, spreadsheets, events, Doodle polls, group SMS, and file sharing, , plus built-in analytics. Google Facebook all 9 rolled into one 1st ever platform designed for group communication, from independent groups to enterprise networks. Good for professional networks, marketplace / on-demand networks, shared economy, resellers, developer relations, student or alumni groups, fellowships, accelerators or VCs, coworking spaces, HOAs, crowd companies, enterprise experts programs, volunteers, and partner or vendor management. Mobilize’s group communication platform is helping clients (Microsoft, Google, Etsy, Prezi, Seedcamp, Vinted, even Special Olympics parents community!) to organize and contact members or partners, in far more sophisticated way than Google Groups. Rebecca Saylor, SF Etsy, Team Lead I was so ready for an easy way to manage all the local Etsy sellers, the events calendar, and to have meaningful community discussions.
