Live community on Civup
How it works
- Step 1
Bring a domain
Apex or sub — your call. We handle SSL, sitemap, and DNS records.
- Step 2
Pick a shape
Yelp-style directory, event-first calendar, or both. Themes are tokens — swap on the fly per domain.
- 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.
Want a regional community of your own?
Civup is white-label and operator-friendly. Tell us the city, the niche, or the existing members you'd bring with you — we'll spin up a tenant and walk through the import.
