Connective.Network's original offering opened on December 2, 2020 and was completed on February 2, 2021. Except for the Updates section which may contain more recent information, the information on this page was accurate as of February 2, 2021.
Connective is the most robust and modern community networking and communication platform for organizations to unify and grow their internal and external communities, in a secure branded environment.
Carii is a B2B platform for organizations to create their own private social networking community or market network and connect their customers, members, partners, and employees. Carii, Inc.& Connective.Network is far more expansive than competitors. It’s like combining Wix, Zoom, LinkedIn, Slack, Eventbrite, Quora, CMS, Trello, Crowdrise and Etsy in one consolidated branded platform.
The key problems we solve include fragmentation in digital communications along with the lack of control, data ownership, security and revenue generation by organizations/businesses:
Connective provides unified functionality for engaging an organization’s network of customers, members, partners and prospects with a branded digital experience where they own their brand and their data and can generate revenue from their membership. In simple terms it’s like having their own social network.
Value propositions include:
Carii, Inc. has two main product lines: White Label and SaaS.
White Label clients are organizations that have unique requirements that adjust our functionality in some manner (increased branding, added integrations, etc.) and/or require a higher level of services which we charge for. For White Label the pricing structure is:
Other revenue opportunities with White Label clients include services, revenue share and equity.
SaaS model clients can leverage our extensive and flexible functionality in our self-service model OR be supported by our sales partners. For SaaS the pricing structure is based on features, number of communities and number of users, plus transaction fees for all:
Carii had early investors and has been primarily bootstrapped from founders’ funds and revenue since.
Since the platform is fully developed and only requires maintenance and smaller feature updates, limited funds are required for ongoing R&D. New funding is required to ramp up growth and will be allocated specifically for sales of white label and SaaS, marketing, PR and a customer success team to support and upsell.
Also required is a small US based development and design team to cover US hours, a product manager, upgrading of cloud technology to support growth in customer base, and SG&A (legal, accounting, hiring a COO, and modest management salaries).
Demand for bespoke digital networks and communities is still early in its growth trajectory so there is significant runway ahead. And the current environment has accelerated digital adoption - leading to rapid growth already, and more opportunity on the horizon with funding.
We market exclusively to organizations and businesses and they in turn market to their customers, users, members, partners. Some of our clients are purpose driven and focused on social impact – leading to the platform becoming a hub for cross-networking for common initiatives. Another new client is a OTT TV Network with broad reach with music audiences. The mix of clients is broad, but with common denominators:
The new SaaS model being rolled out targets small/medium organizations via a digital marketing strategy and outreach to influencers. Many of our larger white label clients are bringing their own networks onto the platform which provides extended opportunities for new customers. For example, our client GSX uses our platform to run their digital business of bringing together architects, builders, designers and product companies.
Organizations such as the UN can be provided with a community and content presence on our platform through GSX, which gives us brand recognition and exposure to potential customers.
Competitors include online community platforms like Mighty Networks and Higher Logic, messaging platforms like Slack, event and fundraising platforms and video conferencing like Zoom. Connective functionality goes far beyond our competition on many levels: it is more comprehensive, modern and flexible with more ways for organizations to generate revenue and add value to members.
Connective is fully developed and robust on the web and mobile apps. It’s like combining Wix, Zoom, LinkedIn, Slack, Eventbrite, Quora, CMS, Trello, Crowdrise and others in one consolidated branded platform. Uniquely, Connective also supports a cross site network of networks which no other solution in the market can do.
Functionality includes: Websites, Social Posting, Communities, Chat, Q&A Forum, Content Library, Video Conferencing (2 integrated tools!), Project Planning, Multi-tier Memberships, Events, Marketplaces, Advertising, Affiliation, Activity Coins, Expert Booking, Fundraising, Token & Blockchain Integration.
In the world we are all living in, initiated by COVID remote work, we are finding accelerated adoption of digital solutions, leading to a dramatic increase in uptake of our platform, as well as much quicker closes (in days and weeks instead of months). Examples of existing clients and prospects include:
Community linking nonprofits and businesses together for support and services (LIVE)
