Hi Product Hunters!
I’m excited to share with you our biggest Mightybell launch since we announced the company.
We’re passionate believers that software should open new possibilities for more people - and that anyone who wants to bring people together around a specific idea, identity or passion should have a path to entrepreneurship.
That’s why this week we launched our new Entrepreneur packages to enable people motivated to create a community around an interest, speciality, profession, condition, diagnosis, life stage or passion to do so using the most powerful type of community - a niche network on native mobile apps - and build a business doing it.
Now people who organize communities can use Mightybell to move their members into their own branded mobile apps, charge for membership or bring on potential sponsors with deeper, more actionable analytics all in one service.
We’re looking forward to your feedback and questions about what we’ve launched. We move fast in our mission to make community building fun again, so ideas, thoughts and things we haven’t thought about would be fantastic.
Thanks!
Gina

@ginab Kudos Gina! Absolutely love it. Would love to learn a bit more and how you guys could potentially help my business. Get in touch through the site?
@ginab Congrats. I was an early Mightybell host and have always enjoyed your approach to building communities. This version just takes the game to whole other level. Great stuff!

@ginab congratulations! playing around with it now
I am a huge fan of Mightybell. Their technology powers the community we built together for The Leader's Guide, my Kickstarter book, and thanks to their passion and commitment, it's been an amazing experience.
Great to see them take this next huge leap forward.

I absolutely love MIghtybell. I first discovered it through my Skillcrush course and then went one to use it to host my mastermind groups. The staff is helpful and super friendly. I love that they are slow and thoughtful in adding new features. They actually add the features that we actually need (imagine that!) as opposed to inundating us with the latest bells and whistles. I'm looking forward to hosting my first paid community this fall.
Huge fan of Mightybell, Studio Minted, community working on side projects, would have never been what it is now if it wasn't for Mightybells easy to use interface, startup and on-boarding process. The network is fantastic. Well done! http://www.studiominted.com
@joanneyuanyuan Thanks, Joanne. We worked long and hard on the engagement loops that make each niche network valuable and bring members back regularly. It wasn't easy, but it sure is paying off.
@eriktorenberg, great question. We’ve invested the past few years quietly and relentlessly optimizing the engagement loops that make a niche network instantly valuable to new and returning members on mobile.
What’s different about a Mightybell Network is that we are focused on how people who start as strangers build relationships with each on mobile. This is deceptively hard to get right. To give us the most time to nail it, we partnered with companies like Intuit and organizations like The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to build a platform for engaging niche networks for small business owners, the self-employed and teachers, respectively.
Yet, despite being quiet, we would still get someone writing in almost daily to ask for different pieces of a complete community product for entrepreneurs: their own domain, landing page, native mobile apps, member categories, onboarding, branding, rich analytics, access to member data, as well as the option to charge for membership or court potential sponsors.
After hearing the same asks over and over, we just built it. We put together all the pieces and launched the complete package on Monday. It's been a crazy few months. :-)
We’re proud to support great community entrepreneurs like Randy and Gerard (their story’s here: https://mightybell.com/community...) with communities that need to exist in the world. Now they have everything they need in a single service to ensure their niche network stays strong, healthy and sustainable. We can't wait to see what other entrepreneurs do with the service from here.

@ginab It's all about community... @pmarca has said something like: 'many companies think they are in the business of building software, when what they are in is the business of building communities'

Wow.
BTW You have a great potentials to disrupt forums!
This product has become so great. I was one of the early users of Ning and Mightybell and a big believer in the mission. I got to see this product in action first hand at Intuit and evolve to power more and more communities over time. This is a great product market fit and such a valuable tool for any business, brand or hobbiest to build community. FB, LI, Snap, and others own overall community... much more of a need going forward for micro communities around specific topics and areas of more niche interests, exited to see whats coming next for you all.
