Overview

Mobilize is a San Francisco, CA-based "get stuff done" community software provider that operates a platform for organizing online communities. The company's platform is focused on using online communities to drive meaningful outcomes in target vertical markets and to activate people around shared purpose. Mobilize targets use cases such as distributed sales organizations, non-profits, professional networks and associations. Led by CEO Dave Hersh, the company provides tooling to engage and coordinate people for those use cases. Mobilize closed a $6m Series A in September 2020 and intends to use the funds to expand its go-to-market efforts. The round was led by Sorenson Ventures with participation from Kickstart. Mobilize provides a platform focused on communicating, scheduling and managing diverse external partner groups — from channel and technology partners to on-demand workers and hosts. The product is positioned to replace ad-hoc tools like email, Google Groups and general chat apps for partner-specific workflows and engagement. Companies including MasterCard and Maker Faire are reported to be migrating to Mobilize’s platform from other solutions. The article frames Mobilize as addressing a growing market need as firms increase reliance on partner ecosystems and outsourced operations. It notes internal job titles and consultants are emerging to manage partner networks, supporting demand for dedicated platforms. Financially, the company recently completed a $6.5M Series A, signaling early institutional funding to scale the product and go-to-market efforts. Mobilize provides a cloud-based community management platform that covers member registration, database management, a communication toolbox and analytics. The company is based in San Francisco and Tel Aviv and introduced its platform in private beta earlier in the year. Mobilize has already added customers including Uber, Intuit, Google Developer Relations, CODE2040 and the Thiel Fellowship. Leadership includes CEO and Co‑Founder Sharon Savariego, CTO Arthur Vainer, and Software Architect Dori Dembinsky. The company intends to use its new funding to grow the team, accelerate product development, and continue supporting its beta customers. The product is positioned to manage and engage external workforces and contributors across the full span of community management.
