# Disciple

> Disciple (Disciple Media) is a London-based SaaS platform that lets creators, brands and organisations build their own white-labelled community app on iOS, Android and web, independent of mainstream social networks. Founded by electronic musician Benji Vaughan, it grew out of a frustration that artists had no way to reach fans without renting access from Facebook. Members pay a monthly hosting fee, keep 100% of their revenue with 0% transaction fees, and fully own their audience data. The platform has powered communities for the Rolling Stones, Luke Bryan and hundreds of wellness, fitness and professional groups, passing two million members across 500+ communities.
