You didn’t just “start a meetup.” You’re building a community.
But coordinating members, communications, events, and collecting payments takes precious time (and funds) that you don’t have.
What’s more, there’s no place for your members to connect before and after events without you being the facilitator. And big group chats or social media posts don’t unite your members like they’re supposed to.
Take the weight off your shoulders
Leading a group is fun but it can get messy! Heylo gives you a private space to run your group smoothly with events, members, and content neatly organized.
Drive true engagement
Heylo lets your members connect with each other online and off, and manage their memberships, profile, connections, and payment information all by themselves.
Keep your group financially sustainable
Collect dues, event tickets, or donations seamlessly. You can thrive without having awkward conversations or chasing people for money.
How it works
Organize your in-person events in a snap
Collect RSVPs, take attendance at events and build leader boards to see which members are engaging.
Communicate with attendees before, during, and after in dedicated event chats.
Meet and engage with your members
Your members join and fill out a profile. Collect private info or customize with icebreakers.
Add your waiver and Heylo will collect signatures for you. Never worry if someone signed again.
Streamline all communications
Chats are organized by event and topic and members only join the conversations they want.
Leaders can still reach everyone in real-time through a dedicated announcement topic that is integrated with push notifications and emails.
How it's different
Heylo is dedicated to one thing: Helping your group achieve its potential.
Heylo works for your whole group, including your members who don’t want to download a new app. With Heylo, everyone can participate the way they like. Your members can stay in the loop by email, on the web, or with the app.
A platform that adds value, not extracts
Heylo is free to use and free of ads. Heylo makes money only when helping groups collect money by taking a small percentage.
