Live community on CivUp
How it works
- Step 1
Choose your address
Start immediately on your included .civup.net address. Custom domains and white-label hosting are available with Scale.
- Step 2
Choose your plan
Launch a directory, or add community features such as events, sessions, and member participation.
- Step 3
Seed and grow
Bulk-import businesses, members, or events. AI categorizes, dedupes, and writes the descriptions you didn't have time to.
Why now
Community software was due for a reset.
The old directory tools haven't meaningfully changed in a decade. The first-gen community platforms grew sideways — bolting forums onto memberships onto courses. Membership tools optimized for associations, not neighborhoods.
Meanwhile AI quietly became good enough to do the parts of community management that were always tedious: importing data, classifying it, moderating, drafting, summarizing, matching. CivUp is what happens when you start fresh with that as a given.
