Your program ends. Your network keeps working.
A Space is your community's private, branded home, tethered to your organization long after a program ends. It's where members meet people they haven't met yet, alumni reconnect with the founders coming up behind them, and everyone goes when they need something: the right advice, the right connection, sometimes capital.

Already patching it together?
If your network runs on a group chat, a Slack workspace, an alumni newsletter, and a spreadsheet of who should meet whom, a Space brings it into one branded home. It keeps working, and keeps your history, when free tools hide older messages or the person running them moves on.
Where your members go when they need something, and find it.
Members come to their Space when they need advice, an introduction, or a specific kind of person. Their community is ready with answers, offers, and suggested connections, plus everything others have already asked and answered, searchable by topic.
Your members get your community, and everyone else's too.
Every Space is private and branded to you. It also sits inside the wider Scroobious network, so when members are ready, they can meet founders, investors, and mentors from other accelerators, angel groups, universities, and funds. Your program becomes a front door to a much bigger ecosystem.
- Reach beyond your roster. Members can find the investor or expert your cohort doesn't have yet.
- Your name travels with them. Members carry your badge across the network, and it links back to you.
- Members choose. Each person decides whether to be visible beyond your Space.
Your members keep getting value. You keep getting deal flow, referrals, and evangelists.
Alumni come back
Past cohorts rejoin the community and meet the founders coming up behind them. Alumni become mentors, investors, and referral sources, and new founders meet people who've been where they are.
Your team's hours back
Members find each other without staff brokering every intro, so your team can run programs and raise money.
A home for your sponsors
Give sponsors and service partners a place to reach your members with offers, credits, and resources, then show them who engaged.

Not sure you fit?
Let's talk"Scroobious Spaces became part of how we run our program. We incorporated it into cohort assignments, which gave our members a way to put what they were learning into practice. It's also made it much easier for people in the program to get to know one another."
Co-founder & CEO, Milestone Growth Capital
"I'm not interested in adding another silo to a city that already has too many. The long-term vision for Spaces is to help people and communities across the city find each other and work together online. That's also how we're thinking about our physical space at Akamai: making those connections easier to build in person."

A fun fact says more than a bio
Members record a quick, informal fun fact and the story behind their work. One take is fine, and they can redo it anytime. Your members get a feel for each other before the first message.
The practical details
Do our members have to pay?
No. Membership is included for everyone in your community as a benefit of being part of it. Your organization holds an annual license.
How often do members need to log in?
Whenever they need something. Their Space is ready with the people and answers they are looking for, and the weekly digest keeps them aware of new asks and offers between visits.
Do members have to record video?
We ask every member for two short, informal videos: their story and a fun fact. They take a few minutes, can be redone anytime, and they are the fastest way for people to get a real sense of each other. Until then, a profile shows "Video coming."
Who can join, and who sees what?
Only people you invite. Send email invites, upload a member list, or share a link you can turn off anytime. Your Space is visible only to its members, groups can have their own private discussion boards, and your admins can see everything. Every member is a real person who introduces themselves, and each one decides whether to also be visible in the wider Scroobious network.
Who owns our community?
You do. Your Space is private and branded to you, and every relationship lives there, not in a staff member's inbox or a contractor's spreadsheet. When someone moves on, the network stays. Members choose whether to also connect in the wider Scroobious network.
What does it cost?
Licenses are priced per Space, based on how many groups you run rather than how many members you have, so your community can grow without your bill growing with it. Your term can line up with your grant or budget year. Book a demo and we'll walk through the right fit.
What will we be able to measure?
The activity that points to outcomes: asks posted and answered, messages between members, who is contributing, and which resources and sponsor offers get used, with 7, 30, and 365-day trends. It gives you something concrete to show funders and sponsors.
