The newsletter your community writes for you.

SuperHive is a simple community contribution and engagement tool. Our interactive newsletter technology allows community members to post community-wide asks, offers, and opportunities all in one place - directly through their email.

Content curation happens automatically, and member connections happen directly one-on-one, with zero effort on the part of a community manager.

SuperHive is built on a new technology that allows readers to dynamically interact with, create, and reply to content directly in an email message.

Instead of your typical newsletter - a static bunch of text and buttons - it turns an email into a place where a reader can take action - interact, write, respond, or connect - directly from the email, without needing to log in elsewhere or leave their inbox. Though for the non-technical, we like to say it just “works like magic” :)

SuperHive is built for communities that value meaningful peer-to-peer relationships, and want to accelerate conversations and connections among their members.

We’re currently serving 50 communities globally, from alumni and professional networks to startup communities, incubators, fellowships, online courses and programs, coworking spaces, distributed digital networks and more.

Not necessarily! Mailchimp, for example, is a great tool for 1-to-many and top-down communications - announcements, updates, promotions and general community news.

SuperHive works best as a tool for independently connecting your members to each other by thoughtfully curating and organizing their immediate needs, requests, and offers to further collaboration and serendipity between members.

This means it’s in a whole other category for your community members - an email for them and by them, thus it co-exists well with any other email newsletters, promotions, or communications you’re sending out.

These tools are all valuable. However, non-stop, thread-based communication tools are either underwhelming or overwhelming for all except your most active community members. Notifications are toxic for your brain and your productivity, and having to constantly log-in to check messages or stay abreast of things is an effort.

SuperHive makes things remarkably simple, by directly connecting members where they already are - their inbox. By setting up SuperHive emails to go out weekly, bi-weekly, or at your desired tempo, you’re able to capture the immediate needs, asks, and offers of your members with a cadence that is predictable, creating anticipation and greater engagement. No logins. No platform switching. No complex community management. With the click of a button, you can turn community asks and offers into a supportive community habit that immediately amplifies the power of your network.

You can set custom logos, colors, and names for your newsletter. You can also add introduction or announcement sections above the main content. 100% of the content is coming from your members - their crowdsourced asks and offers - making it unique and irreplaceable for your community. We’re adding new features and customizations all the time - so keep checking back!

Every community is different, but the key is consistency! It takes consistency and predictability for your community members to build a habit of supporting each other. We recommend weekly or bi-weekly to start. This way, whenever a member has a need, offer, or opportunity to share, SuperHive will be top of mind as a way to find what they’re looking for - and get connected - quickly!

It's totally okay to have some editions of the newsletter with less content than others. In fact, it’s normal. Instead, members must know that the content they share is distributed regularly. This incentivizes people to regularly post requests, share offers, and answer questions!

Thank god, it’s not! 100% of SuperHive happens in your community’s inboxes - members can answer other members and get connected seamlessly, but also build the following email as they contribute with their asks and offers. It’s not a new social network; it simply creates a new channel for your existing network to connect more directly.

We are a globally distributed team of life-long community builders and technology enthusiasts. We constantly ask the question “how can technology truly enable more meaningful connections, rather than distract us from them?” We’ve been using SuperHive for years internally within our own communities, and feel strongly that it’s something other communities can and should benefit from!
