In 2007, SocialEngine founders Alex Benzer and Charlotte Genevier witnessed an obvious trend: the long tail of the social web was being born. Thousands of people, inspired by the fledging mainstream social networks, were beginning to create their own niche community websites. At the time, it was clear that the tools available for creating social networks were truly inadequate. Alex and Charlotte took this opportunity to build their own.
SocialEngine has evolved rapidly since its launch in 2007. Now in its fourth version, our community platform has been used by over 6,500 individuals, hobby groups, professional organizations, schools, institutions, and all kinds of other people, cumulatively hosting millions of end users. We continuously strive to improve SocialEngine and make it more accessible to all kinds of social network creators.
Acquired by Room 214 (a digital marketing and social media agency) in January of 2014, the company continues to maintain two code bases (PHP and Cloud), and strives to improve features and accessibility to social network creators everywhere.
