A platform for member networking

Skipso helps you build and manage a member networking platform that grows more valuable as your community grows. From searchable directories and AI-matched recommendations to community resources and open calls for collaboration - everything your members need is in one place, under your brand.

CONNECT

Enable members to build searchable profiles and find relevant peers, partners, and collaborators across your community.

ENGAGE

Keep members active with curated resources, events, funding opportunities, and AI-powered recommendations tailored to their interests.

GROW

Attract new members and grow your community with a platform that becomes more valuable as your network expands.

MANAGE

Manage membership tiers, roles, and access levels - ensuring every member sees what's relevant to them.

Build a searchable member directory

A great member networking platform starts with great profiles. Skipso enables every member - whether a startup, corporate, researcher, investor, or public body - to create a rich, searchable profile that captures who they are, what they offer, and what they're looking for. The result is a living directory your entire community can use to find and connect with the right people.

Rich member profiles

Members build comprehensive profiles showcasing their expertise, services, interests, and collaboration needs - giving others the context to reach out with confidence.

Search, filter, and discover

Members can search and filter across your entire community by sector, expertise, location, organisation type, and interest areas - making it simple to find the right connections at the right time.

Keep your community engaged

Skipso's community tools turn a member directory into an active, engaged ecosystem. AI-powered recommendations surface the most relevant content, opportunities, and connections for every member - personalised to their profile and interests.

AI-powered recommendations

Based on each member's profile and stated interests, Skipso automatically recommends the most relevant peers, opportunities, resources, and events from across your platform - keeping members engaged long after they first join.

Resources, events, and announcements

Centralise all your community content in one place - events, funding opportunities, resources, and news. Members can post their own opportunities, and your team can push updates via newsletter digests.

Run programmes for your members

A great networking platform doesn't just connect - it creates structured opportunities for members to collaborate, apply for funding, and participate in challenges. Skipso lets you run open calls, grant programmes, and other initiatives directly from the same platform where your community already lives.

Open calls and challenges

Launch innovation challenges, funding calls, or collaboration opportunities directly from your networking platform - giving members a seamless path from connection to active participation.

Membership management

Manage different membership tiers, role-based access, and visibility settings - ensuring each member type sees exactly what's relevant to them, at every stage of their journey.
