The story
Community is a Santa Monica-based SaaS platform that solves communication and engagement problems, primarily through SMS-based messaging between leaders (celebrities, brands, organizations) and their subscribers. The company uses Stripe and Recurly for billing and payment processing, and Twilio for SMS infrastructure. The embedded finance footprint is limited — focused on subscription billing rather than banking or lending products.
