Case Study: Octo Members builds a private, thriving community for UK finance professionals with Mighty Networks

This is Octo Members, a private membership home to over 2,000 UK finance professionals

Octo Members is a private membership community for over 2,000 UK financial services professionals, founded by Lee Robertson to help people in the industry connect, learn, and grow in a way that met regulatory requirements. The team needed a platform that could provide privacy, clear boundaries, and richer community functionality than WhatsApp, LinkedIn, or Facebook Groups, while also supporting a branded mobile experience. They chose Mighty Networks, specifically Mighty Pro, to make the community work smarter, not harder.

With Mighty Networks, Octo Members launched a private, branded web and mobile community with podcasts, videos, polls, discussion threads, live Q&As, events, training, and daily check-ins. The platform enabled them to offer a secure space for members to share openly, grow to over 3,100 members, and expand into sponsored groups, virtual conferences, and commissioned content from financial brands. Mighty Networks helped Octo Members turn a side project into a growing community business without the cost and delay of custom app development.
