We help brands make Community-Led Growth happen
Zapnito is on a mission to help businesses create more valuable and frequent engagement by bringing customers and brand experts together to share knowledge.
Our all-in-one platform and expert strategic support makes it easy to create customer community experience that provides equal value for your business and your members.
Our story
One of the main challenges companies face today is cutting through the noise online and building trust. Fast growing companies and large enterprises struggle to maintain meaningful human relationships at scale.
In 2015, Zapnito was founded by Charles Thiede and Jon Beer to help brands connect and share knowledge with the people that mattered most to their business. Over time, this collaboration with our customers has created a methodology for delivering Community-Led Growth. Zapnito’s platform powers communities for trusted brands such as Springer Nature, Ellen Macarthur Foundation, B2B Marketing, McGraw-Hill, OECD and many other organizations across industries.
Zapnito is proud to be strategically backed by one of the top global venture firms: Octopus Ventures.
