coapp

Coapp GmbH operates as a software-as-a-service provider, offering a white-label community platform for businesses to create their own branded social networks. The company was founded in 2022 by Jonas Lindemann (CEO), Hardy Seiler (CXO), and Magomed Arsaev (CTO) and is headquartered in Hannover, Germany. The idea for Coapp originated from the founders' experience in setting up the Hafven Innovation Community, where they identified a gap in the market for community platforms that could keep pace with evolving community needs.

The platform targets a diverse client base, including medium-sized businesses, coworking spaces, public organizations, and education providers. It enables these organizations to build and manage their own communities, fostering customer loyalty and creating new revenue streams. The business model is subscription-based, with tiered pricing plans (Free, Professional, Business, Enterprise) that vary by the number of members, admins, and platform fees. Revenue is generated from these subscriptions and a percentage-based platform fee on transactions like memberships and paid bookings. Coapp has secured seed funding in rounds in July 2022 and January 2024 from investors including Hafven, Plimo Ventures, and Hannover Beteiligungsfonds.

Coapp's product is a comprehensive, GDPR-compliant platform available as a web and mobile app, consolidating features often found in separate tools. Core functionalities include a community feed for posts, a messenger for direct and group chats, event management with calendar integration, and a marketplace for job offers. It allows for extensive customization, including logos, colors, and custom domains, without requiring programming knowledge. A key aspect is its monetization capability, powered by Stripe, which automates payments for memberships, event tickets, and the booking of resources like meeting rooms or 3D printers. Clients can also opt for a fully white-labeled mobile app for an additional setup and monthly fee.
