Features
Everything runs through one loop: Needs, referrals, and the people who show up.
No feeds to scroll, no follower counts, no cold outreach. Grove Network is built around the handful of things that actually move a local business relationship forward.
Post what you're looking for
"I'm looking for a CPA." Post a Need with a short title and description and your Grove sees it — no cold calling, no directory browsing.
Answer with a referral
See a Need you can help with? Send a referral — including a referral to someone who isn't a Grove Network member yet.
Make the actual connection
Introductions log the real handoff between two members, so a referral turns into an actual conversation instead of a dead end.
Endorsements that mean something
A Vouch comes from someone who's actually worked with you — a short, honest endorsement, not a star rating or a popularity count.
Get matched with people worth knowing
Grove Network surfaces members worth meeting based on your industry, specialty, and who you already know — so the first move is easier.
Show up, in person or virtually
RSVP to your Grove's coffee meetups, happy hours, and educational sessions — in-person and virtual events, on your chapter's calendar.
Chapters, not a feed
Every Need, referral, and event lives inside your Grove.
Grove Network organizes members into city chapters called Groves. There's no public feed of strangers — activity happens inside the chapter you actually joined, with people you can meet face to face.
Simple by design
Sign in, join your Grove, get to work.
One login, one chapter, no feed to manage. Join the Groves relevant to your business and everything else — Needs, matches, events — is scoped to the people actually in them.
Safe by design
Account safety, built in from day one.
