Odd Circles
What it does
Odd Circles is an all-in-one platform designed to streamline community and event management. It offers tools for building, nurturing, and growing communities, hosting events, sharing knowledge, and creating meaningful connections. The platform aims to replace entire tech stacks, including services like Meetup and Mailchimp, by integrating community building, event hosting, email, courses, lead magnets, digital products, and monetization tools. It provides direct payouts for monetized events and claims to operate at a fraction of the cost of competitors, offering world-class support. Odd Circles is available via iOS and Android apps and features an innovative parent-group structure for global coordination and localized engagement, as demonstrated by the Seth Godin book launch case study.
