On a sleepless night in September 2023, Tightknit was born out of a simple yet powerful idea: build what you know.
For Zach and Stephen, that meant leveraging a decade of experience in crafting Salesforce Community Cloud, used by the world’s most iconic brands, including Google, Home Depot, and Disney.
When Salesforce acquired Slack, a lightbulb went off. Slack, the world’s leading B2B community platform, was missing key features that every community manager needs—features that could turn a good community into a great one.
That’s where Tightknit comes in.
We created Tightknit to fill those gaps, to meet your members where they are, and to elevate the Slack experience with Forums, SEO, Events, Gamification, and more. Our mission is simple: keep your members engaged and your community thriving—all within the platform they already love.
But we didn’t do this alone. Our journey has been accompanied by an incredible community of customers, advocates, and partners.
We don’t just build for our community. We build with them.
If you’re passionate about community and ready to make an impact, we invite you to join us. Let’s build something amazing together.
