For the people who run the room
A membership network is a business. Run it like one.
Member & Main handles dues and renewals, the directory, referrals, events and the email that goes with them — under your own name, on your own domain. One system instead of a spreadsheet, a mail tool, a ticketing site and a group chat.
Built for networks of 20 members and networks of 2,000 — the work is the same shape.
The admin is what kills networks — not the idea
Renewals get chased by hand. The directory lives in someone's spreadsheet. Referrals are counted from memory at the end of the year. Event registrations arrive in one inbox and reminders never go out. None of it is hard — there's just always more of it than the person doing it has hours for.
Member & Main exists to take that work off the organizer's desk, so the time goes back into the thing members actually pay for: the room.
- A spreadsheetof who's paid, probably out of date
- A mail toolwith a list nobody has cleaned since 2023
- A ticketing sitethat emails attendees in its own branding
- A group chatwhere the referrals are mentioned and then lost
- A folderof PDFs someone has to keep re-sending
What the platform covers
Everything a network does between meetings, in one place — and each piece built so the obvious mistakes can't happen quietly.
Memberships & dues
Join forms, approvals, renewals and payment records. Free, paid, and comped members live side by side, and a paid membership is never quietly downgraded.
The member directory
Members find each other by trade, name, or what they need today. Listings are opt-in, and a suspended membership disappears from the directory the moment it changes.
Referrals, both directions
Log who sent whom, what came of it, and what it was worth. The number your members care about most is the one nobody usually tracks.
Events & check-in
Registration pages on your own domain, confirmations with the calendar invite attached, reminders before the day, and check-in at the door.
One-to-ones that book themselves
Two members describe when they're free in plain English; the platform finds the overlap, books it, and keeps the meeting off everyone's already-busy hours.
Email that behaves
Announcements and follow-ups sent from your own domain, with unsubscribes honored everywhere and delivery problems surfaced instead of hidden.
Contacts that stay clean
The same person joining twice under two addresses is caught before it becomes two records — and merged safely when it already has.
The member's own portal
No passwords to lose. Members sign in with a link or a code, see their membership, their referrals, and their next event, and update their own details.
Getting started
- 1
We set your network up
Your name, your colors, your domain. Members see your brand — not ours — from the first email they get.
- 2
Your members come across
Bring a spreadsheet; duplicates are caught on the way in. Everyone gets a portal, a directory listing, and a way in that doesn't involve a password.
- 3
You run the network, not the tooling
Dues, events, referrals and email in one place, so the work of keeping a network alive stops being six subscriptions and a spreadsheet.
Who it's for
If people pay to belong to something you organize, this is built for you. The names differ; the work doesn't.
Networks run side by side, each with its own brand, domain and members — and a person who belongs to two of them still signs in once.
- Business networks
Chapters that meet weekly and run on referrals.
- Chambers & associations
Dues, directories and events, with a board to report to.
- Investor & mastermind groups
Small rooms where the introductions are the product.
- Councils & advisory groups
Independent specialists who present as one front door.
How we build it
Your brand, not ours
Members see your name on the emails, your domain in the links, and your colors on the pages. We're the plumbing.
Nothing fails quietly
If an email doesn't send or a payment doesn't land, you're told — where it happened and what to do. Silence is the worst answer software can give.
Your list stays yours
Your members are your members. Export them whenever you like, in a format another system will actually accept.

A short call, no deck. If Member & Main isn't the right fit we'll say so — and probably tell you which two spreadsheets to merge instead.
