# Bevy

> Bevy is a Palo Alto software company that helps large enterprises build, run and measure their customer communities - forums, events, user groups and now AI-driven engagement. Spun out of Startup Grind in 2017 by Derek Andersen, Alex Bendig and Joel Fernandes, it has raised about $61.4M from Accel and Upfront Ventures, acquired CMX and Intros AI, and counts Twitch, Salesforce, Adobe, Atlassian and Notion among its customers. Its bet: community isn't a soft cost, it's a growth channel you can put a number on.

## Achievements

- Built the community and events platform behind global programs at Twitch, Salesforce, Adobe, Atlassian, Notion, Etsy and Snap.
- Raised roughly $61.4M in venture funding from investors including Accel and Upfront Ventures.
- Completed multiple acquisitions - CMX and Intros AI - to consolidate the community-operations stack.
- Launched an AI Engagement Hub with five specialized agents (knowledge, gamification, content, moderation, sentiment) plus Intros AI's connection engine.
- Grew out of Startup Grind, a community that has spanned 600 cities and 120 countries and hosted more than 20,000 events.
