Hey HN! Grant here, long time lurker and first time co-founder of embolt; we're the quickest way to bootstrap your next member-funded club, league, community, etc...<p>Running member-funded communities is a time consuming and tedious process. Figuring out who sent you money, who your members are, who needs to renew, and how your community has grown can become next to impossible over time without the proper tools.<p>My co-founder Gabe and I started embolt after our frustrating experiences serving on non-profit boards and the lack of available tools we had. Membership management is not a new problem, but the solutions out there today are too focused upmarket. The industry is very much positioned as B2B -- you contact a sales rep, schedule a product demo, negotiate a contract, and receive the software after making a month-to-month commitment.<p>What makes embolt different is we're focused on the top of the funnel, the leaders of tomorrow's communities. We've built our platform to make bootstrapping a new idea, or onboarding an existing one a seamless self-service experience. We've even partnered with PayPal through their partners program so you won't even need a bank account to get started.<p>We're officially launching today but already have a handful of clubs using us to manage their members, I'd love to get some feedback or thoughts from the HN community, thanks!<p>[1] Our official launch post: <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/goembolt/p/embolt-is-a-member-management-platform" rel="nofollow">https://open.substack.com/pub/goembolt/p/embolt-is-a-member-...</a>
