Community platform
Community platform for tech communities
Running a community gets hard when announcements live in WhatsApp, sign-ups in forms and attendee lists in spreadsheets. Masqot is a community platform where tech communities bring their members, events and communication together in one place. If you're building a community, you manage it from the Masqot Creator panel; if you're looking for one, you join communities in your field and go to their events.
Masqot Creator
For community builders
Community page and membership
Open your community and approve join requests. Give members an admin role, and mute or remove them from the community when needed. Every moderation action you take is logged.
Channels and posts
Create channels by topic inside your community. Members share posts, ask questions and join discussions.
Events
Enter your event's date, location and capacity. The event is published on Masqot's website and mobile app; once it's full, no new registrations are accepted, and registered attendees get reminders.
Insights
See how your attendees break down by expertise, experience, city and interests. Breakdowns that could identify someone in small groups aren't shown.
Announcements: email and notifications
Send announcement emails to your community from one place, or push instant notifications to your members and attendees.
Integrations and trainings
Connect your community to its Telegram channel with your own bot. Publish exclusive training content for your members from the panel. These two features are available on paid plans.
Members
For people looking for a community
Masqot has communities for AI, software, data, blockchain, design, product and entrepreneurship. When you join a community, you see its posts in your feed, join conversations in its channels and sign up for its events with one tap. You can connect with people you meet in communities through mutually approved introduction requests.
Who it's for
- Tech community founders. Meetup groups, developer communities, AI communities.
- Event organizers. People who regularly run webinars, workshops or hackathons.
- University clubs and student communities. Those who want to keep their members and events in one place.
- Organizations. Universities, technoparks and incubators that want to run the platform on their own domain for their own community (Masqot Edition).
Beginner
Launch your community in 4 steps
Apply
Open the short application with "Apply for Creator"; only two fields are required. You can apply even if you don't have a community yet.
Wait for approval
Our team reviews your application. Once it's approved, you'll get a notification and an email, and your panel opens.
Build your community
Open your community page and channels, and publish your first event.
Invite your members
Share your community page link; approve join requests from the panel.
Moving over
Moving your existing community
If your community is currently scattered across a messaging group, a form tool and an event site, you can move it to Masqot. Once you've opened your community page, share its link in your existing group; members join with their own Masqot profiles. When you publish your next event on Masqot, registrations, reminders and the attendee list are collected in your panel automatically. If you have a Telegram channel, you can keep sharing your announcements there through the integration.
The difference
What sets Masqot apart from other community tools
- No separate website needed. The communities and events you open from the panel are published directly on Masqot's website and mobile app.
- Community, events and members together. Sign-up forms, announcement groups and attendee lists aren't scattered across separate tools.
- Your members are in the tech ecosystem. Your community sits inside a network of professionals, startups and other communities working in the same field, which makes it easier to discover.
- Community pages show up in search. Community pages are public and can be found on search engines.
- Member privacy is protected. Direct messages are visible only to the people in the conversation; in insights, small groups are hidden so no one can be identified.
- 8 languages. Masqot is available in Turkish, English, German, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, French and Azerbaijani, so your members can reach your community in their own language.
