About Us
We are HCLB Communities. We are a tech company with a human touch. We are here to build online communities that nurture genuine connection between real people, and brands that speak to the values of human creativity and community, and to enable others to do the same.
Our Values
- Community with Commitment: Our communities are intentionally designed to foster genuine connection online, requiring meaningful commitment from members while fitting into busy lives.
- Human-Centred Technology: We use technology as a tool to connect people, not to replace them. Our products and services are priced sustainably, recognising the value of human labour and ensuring sales support fair compensation. Although we are a tech company, we are not here to automate everything we do, and the human touch doesn’t scale at zero marginal cost.
- Knowledge Sharing and Ecosystem Building: As we grow, we will create valuable knowledge. Over time, we intend to make more of this knowledge public to enable others. We are committed to fostering a thriving network of communities, creatives and brands aligned with our principles.
- Purpose-Driven Innovation: We do not pursue technology for its own sake or build platforms that seek to offload the work of running a business onto users. Instead, we build and use tech to solve human problems and build human connection.
Our Four Pillars of Community
- Commitment: As paid up members, people are invested in the community.
- Ritual: Seeing the same group of committed people every month builds relationships.
- Connection: Real conversations on video drive genuine connection.
- Online: We do it all online, so you can join from anywhere.
