OneHop for community organisers
Turn a member list into a network that helps each other.
Your community's real value is who your members know. OneHop lets members share what they're working towards, finds who in the community can help, and makes the introductions easy. You see the results.
Sound familiar?
Members who never meet
Hundreds of members, and most only know the handful they sit next to at events. The introductions that would change their year never happen.
Asks lost in the feed
Someone posts "does anyone know a good fintech lawyer?" in Slack. It scrolls away in an hour, answered or not.
Value you can't show
You know the community creates opportunities, but when it's time to renew memberships or sponsorships, you have anecdotes rather than numbers.
How OneHop helps
Asks that find their answer
Members share a goal or ask. OneHop finds the members best placed to help or introduce, and follows up so nothing gets lost.
Introductions members welcome
Nothing moves until the member asking accepts an offer of help, and introducers check with the other side first. Members choose what they share, and their own networks stay private.
Proof of value
See introductions made, asks answered and outcomes reported, so you can show members and sponsors what the community delivers.
An illustrative example
How a founder community made 60 introductions in a month
- A 400-member founder community in Sydney invited members to OneHop.
- Members shared their goals for the quarter: first hires, pilot customers, angel investors.
- OneHop matched each goal to members who could help and suggested who should meet at the next event.
- Within a month members had made 60 double opt-in introductions, and the organisers could show which ones led somewhere.
Names, figures and details in this example are illustrative, not a customer case study.
Questions
How do I get community members to help each other?
Make asks specific and visible, match them to the members best placed to help, and make introductions easy and double opt-in. Then celebrate the outcomes so members see it working.
Can members see each other's contacts?
No. Each member's network stays private. Members can opt in to show that they could make an introduction, at a coarse level, and nothing happens until the member asking accepts.
Does OneHop replace our Slack or Circle?
No. Keep your community where it lives. OneHop works alongside it so asks get answered and introductions happen.
How do we start?
Bring your community and we'll set it up with you.
