In 2021 I was a solopreneur working long hours at the laptop, feeling burnt out and isolated. My “friends” were in college partying, and it left me feeling as if chasing my dreams was actually missing out on life. I knew if I was going to sustain my pursuit of entrepreneurship on the path less traveled, I needed to find other guys like me.
January 1, 2022 I launched The Elevate Community with the goal of surrounding myself with young like-minded dudes. Guys who were building businesses, in the gym, showing up to Church, and striving to be the best version of themselves.
Four years later, over 600 members across the world, God has turned it into a nonprofit mission to build Godly community around the world. Empowering young men and women to take the leap of faith and step into the calling God has for them. No matter what they feel that calling is.
Over the years of building I always had one Achilles' heel in our branding. Discord.
I am casting this global vision to impact millions of lives, I am pitching donors to support it, and all I have to show for a platform is a Discord community?
For years we wrestled with this Achilles' heel in various ways. It affected our conviction in our vision. It limited our member experience. It gave us no leg up in the battle of keeping members engaged across the world.
I had zero idea who was jumping online unless they sent a message. If they were seeing the announcements to attend our in-person events. Or where they truly were in their experience unless my team was constantly checking in 1:1.
After all these years of dreaming up a custom platform with our branding, premium customer experience, user engagement data, and key features we always wished we had... well, now today we've built it.
One iOS, macOS, and Android app that represents the vision with the justice it deserves. Custom branding at every turn that doesn't just fall off after our website. Dream features brought to life and built into our platform. And finally, finally, I can actually see who's jumping on the app, how long they're spending on it, what actually interests them, what in-person events they're looking into, and so much more.
After bringing our dream platform to life, God put it on my heart to empower other founders who are done wrestling with Discord, Slack, Skool, Notion, Kajabi, and more. Founders who are tired of clients paying, then landing on a platform and experience that doesn't match what they were sold. Leaning on their own time 1:1 to make sure clients are happy and to get a pulse on whether they're about to churn.
So our team is on a mission. Not just to build community ourselves, but to equip you with your dream platform so you can have the conviction to do what God has put on your heart.
Whether that's changing lives through a sales academy, a fitness coaching program, an investment platform, or a networking group for entrepreneurs around the world.
We are ready to bring your vision to life.
