Bevy is an enterprise community engagement platform that helps large companies run events, forums, groups, and member programs from one system. Born out of Startup Grind's own struggle to coordinate hundreds of local chapters, Bevy now powers customer and developer communities for brands like Twitch, Salesforce, Adobe, Atlassian, and Notion, and has folded in the CMX professional network and AI 'agents' to help teams grow communities and prove their return on investment.
