Mighty has more $1M communities than any other platform. Why? Because it’s the only community software designed to introduce your members to each other and help them connect. Those member to member interactions are ultimately what will make your courses, challenges, events and memberships successful. Mighty powers them using its proprietary People Magic AI, which is designed to surface the most interesting and relevant members to each other and help them break the ice. On Mighty, a creator, entrepreneur, coach or community leader can host groups and subgroups, offer courses, livestream, run events, and more. They can offer those things for free or charge for access on a recurring or one-time basis. Every day millions of members contribute to communities on Mighty centered on diverse topics — health and wellness, spirituality, career, relationships, personal development, and hobbies are all well represented. Brands also use Mighty for customer communities, ambassador activations, and employee engagement. “It was very important to me to not have my community on Facebook. Mighty Networks has been a great alternative and has only gotten better in the five years I’ve used it.” - Tara W., Mighty Host “It's just sooooo easy to use, to build my content, my courses, my coaching delivery. It's easy. Very low learning curve. I was up in days with Mighty. “ - Kelley T., Mighty Host “Intuitive and flexible—highly recommended! Mighty's saved us time, improved engagement, and given our members a far more cohesive experience.” - James E. Mighty Host “My Mighty Network is incredibly dynamic and keeps getting better. The features they offer make it easy to build a community and, more importantly, keep my members engaged. Their team is also highly responsive, another reason I love Mighty. In short, A+” - Dana Wilde, Mighty Host “There are so many ways to customize your community and offerings, with new features coming all the time.” - Steff B, Mighty Host The future’s more interesting when we’re in it together.
