Circle

Yesterday we kicked off the Creator Leaders Accelerator and what a first night! 🔥 We had an incredible goal-setting session run by @giuliaremondino where the whole cohort got to strip back the noise and get crystal clear on what they’re actually building and more importantly, how to give themselves the best possible chance of achieving it. We’re so proud to be doing this alongside the people in this cohort. Watching them connect, share, and show up for each other on day one already tells us everything we need to know. And none of this would be possible without our sponsor @circleapp the platform at the forefront of community building. 👉 Whether you’re a creator growing your audience, a coach with a growing client base, or an educator building your next course, Circle understands that community is the foundation everything else is built on. We’re very grateful to have them backing this cohort!

If you’re building an audience, you’ve probably felt this tension: You’re creating content. You’re gaining followers. But turning that attention into a sustainable business? That part isn’t always clear. That’s exactly why we partnered with @jayclouse , Founder of Creator Science, to create a 5-part video masterclass all about how to turn your audience into real revenue. In under four years, Jay has built a membership business that generates more than $450,000 annually. In this course, he walks through the core playbooks and systems that made it possible.

This year, more than 12 million people chose to spend their time within Circle communities. While other platforms are built to keep people scrolling, our communities help people learn new skills, take new directions, and create meaningful change for themselves and others. Far from mindless engagement, Circle communities are about enabling personal and professional transformations. It's easy to forget that every transformation is a life changing event. For some, this could be a new career or a business, and for others it's a new lifestyle. Our co-founder and CEO, Sid Yadav, reflects on 2025 with an overview of this year’s releases. Head to the link in our bio for the full 2025 annual recap.

The 2026 Community Trends Report is here. We spoke with 12 experts, surveyed 750+ community builders, and reviewed data from 18,000+ Circle communities to uncover the shifts redefining the future of communities. Grab your copy, and let us know what trends are resonating most! Link in bio 🔗

Thank you to our amazing partners at @circleapp for amplifying the @entreprenistas community in such a big way! Seeing Entreprenista featured on billboards across Times Square was an unforgettable moment. Circle has been a true partner in helping us bring women founders together and giving our members not just a platform to connect and grow, but now, a spotlight in one of the most iconic places in the world. Every time our community gets amplified, more women founders get the recognition, visibility, and opportunities they deserve. And that’s exactly what Entreprenista is all about. We celebrate the ambitious women who are building, scaling, and leading businesses that change the world. I am honored to get to build a movement that helps women founders be seen, supported, and unstoppable!

I was in Times Square...on a billboard! Unreal! 🤯 Thank you to @circleapp for the opportunity, but more importantly thank you for being an amazing company that I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with for the past 5 years. We use Circle to host our community at SPI, and I’ve been an advisor since the early days, and to see how far they’ve come, and all they continue to do to serve communities all around the world...I couldn’t be more proud of their success! It was an honor to be featured here alongside several other epic community leaders, but it’s the members of each of our communities on these platforms that truly make it special. I was bullish on community in 2019 when I wrote about it in Superfans, and I’m even more bullish on it now today. If you aren’t building community, you’re going to be left behind. And of course, I recommend Circle to build it on! Let’s go!

Sometimes being a founder looks like sleepless nights, a drained bank account, and an endlessly long to do list, other times it looks like…THIS! I started food writing in 2012, and diabetes made an unwelcome appearance in my life a few years later. But, it ultimately led me to meet people who encouraged me to use my skills and provide a safe space for people wanting to fine-tune their nutrition, and take small steps to have diabetes management work for them, and not the other way around. I envision a future where every person, regardless of income or background, has the knowledge, confidence, and resources to prevent and manage diabetes effectively. @glucoseguideapp strives to close the gap between clinical recommendations and real-world application by fostering equity in nutrition access, promoting self-efficacy, and supporting community-based prevention and management. And the reason we can do it? @circleapp . Our community is custom built, hosts it’s nutrition tools like the diabetes food journal, and allows members to have our pocket diabetes assistant at their fingertips. Without my community, this idea might not ever have come to life. Without Circle, it definitely wouldn’t have. Having our community on several billboards in Times Square is a dream. Ultimately, we want everyone living with diabetes to know they have a caring place for nutrition and habit change support, for whatever price fits where they are in life right now. You don’t have to do diabetes alone, and @glucoseguideapp is here for you because of a platform like @circleapp #diabetes #diabetesawareness #t1dlookslikeme #t1d #type2diabetes #healthcoach #nutrition #diabetescommunity #bloodsugar #diabetesawarenessmonth #community #publichealthmatters

How cool is this?? Yesterday, I took over Times Square! I was highlighted as part of a campaign from Circle. If you’re not familiar, @circleapp is my favorite platform out there for online communities. When I speak to creators about their. needs in a community platform, I almost always recommend Circle. My membership (The Lab) has been on Circle since 2022. Before that, I spent ~18 months leading the team at Smart Passive Income building out their Circle communities when the platform was still in private beta! To say Circle has been transformative for my business would be an understatement. Since launch, my membership has generated nearly $1.5 million in revenue. And the wonderful thing about memberships is that – when done well – revenue *builds* over time. This year alone, the membership will contribute more than $500,000 to the bottom line. So, I’m a Circle fanboy. And with yesterday’s campaign highlighting some of their creators, it seems they may be fans of me too. 😂

I can’t believe I was on a billboard in New York City 🍎 I’ve been working with @circleapp for over 5 years now and it was great to be able to work with them on this particular campaign. If you’re a creator or educator and want to build your own community, you can visit their website ‘circle.so' to try it out. And if you’re based in NYC, did you see me on the billboard? 👀

With over 12M+ members in Circle communities, there are so many creators and brands to celebrate. Earlier this week, we flew a few of them into NYC to see their very own billboards in Times Square: Tracy Avin from TroopHR (1,500+ members): Professional network where HR leaders gain expert insights, join peer discussions, and grow their careers. Jonathan Truong from @codecademy (80,000+ members): E-learning platform teaching AI, data, coding, and cybersecurity skills to help people unlock new opportunities. @courtspritzer from @entreprenistas (3,000+ members): Membership empowering women founders to connect, collaborate, and scale their businesses with confidence. @thehangrywoman from @glucoseguideapp (2,000+ members): A community for people living with diabetes to share experiences, get guidance, and access nutrition-friendly recipes and coaching. We wanted to share the experience of seeing their community on a big stage, and celebrate this milestone with them! They brought the theme of our campaign to life: “Whatever it is, there’s a Circle for that.”

Whatever it is, there’s a Circle for that. In case you missed it, we took over Times Square this week for a campaign featuring Circle creators like @aliabdaal , @codecademy , @entreprenistas , @glucoseguideapp , @jayclouse , @patflynn , @runningchannel , and TroopHR. From run clubs to diabetes support groups, Circle helps creators and brands build homes for their communities, memberships, events, courses, and more. Explore our communities: discover.circle.so
