Community building for your portfolio companies
AI BEAVERS designs, launches and runs in-person communities for tech companies: local chapters, recurring events and ambassador programmes. This is the short version, written to forward.
When does a company need a community?
- Thousands of users or developers, and almost none of them have met
- Entering a new city or market, and needing local trust quickly
- Launching, or fixing, an ambassador or host programme
- Hiring engineers, and wanting to be known in the local scene
Where can we help a portfolio company?
- Build your community from zero
- No community yet? We design it end to end, from who it is for and why they come to its name and look, then run the first events.
- Revive a quiet community
- A Discord nobody posts in, or events nobody comes to? We find out why, fix the basics and give members a reason to return.
- Launch your community in Europe
- Strong in the US or at home, but missing in Europe? We open your community in European cities with local hosts, venues and speakers, under your brand.
- We run your community for you
- It works, but nobody has time for it? We take over the calendar, the events and the members, with regular reporting, ongoing or until your own team takes over.
- Build your ambassador programme
- Need people on the ground? We select, train and support the local hosts who represent you, with clear terms, the way our own hosts run AI BEAVERS chapters.

How does an introduction work?
You introduce the company
By email, or by forwarding this page to the founder.
We talk with their team
Directly, about what they need and where momentum is lost.
We scope the work with them
Usually a pilot for one audience in one market, measured against a baseline agreed up front.
The full picture, with event formats, our hackathon reach and answers to common questions, is on our community building page.
