Case Study: ChIPs Network scales global chapter engagement and mentorship with Hivebrite

ChIPs Network reaches 10,000 members with Hivebrite

ChIPs Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing women in tech law and policy, faced the challenge of scaling its global community across nearly 40 chapters. Their previous systems lacked cohesion, making it difficult to provide a consistent and accessible member experience everywhere. Operational hurdles included inconsistent onboarding for over 200 chapter leaders and no centralized platform for member connection, which prevented the network from operating as a unified whole while maintaining the trust and integrity of its space.

The solution was implemented by Hivebrite, which provided a single platform for chapters, member directories, event management, and mentorship matching. This enabled self-serve member engagement and empowered local chapters without creating bottlenecks. The results were significant, with the community growing to nearly 10,000 active members. The impact includes highly engaged chapters with event waitlists, rapid responses to leadership opportunities, and members directly connecting for career support, which led to one member finding a new job within three months after posting her need to the community.
