Today, we complete Circle’s stack with the launch of our own website builder. A quick backstory: When we started Circle, my co-founders Rudy, Andy, and I would often talk about how most websites for creators and digital products felt disconnected from what they actually sold. Visitors might land on a beautiful website, but the moment they signed up or became a member, the experience fractured — dropping them into a different platform that felt fragmented and transactional. As a contract CTO for dozens of creators, it was Rudy’s job to build these websites, and no single platform let him create a cohesive end-to-end experience for his clients. For a while, we were almost convinced the world needed a new website builder for creators that tightly integrated the post-purchase experience. But we talked ourselves out of it after attending the Webflow conference in SF, realizing how daunting it would be to build a full ecosystem for it to succeed. Five years later, we’re finally completing the vision we had from day -100. I’m excited to announce that Circle can finally power the whole experience for creators and community builders. With the launch of our website builder, you can now create beautiful, high-converting landing pages, sales pages, and funnels. Unlike other builders which bifurcate your content and community, we built ours to unify every part of your experience — and by extension, your entire business. This includes your: - Community - Courses - AI agents - Events - Live streams - Memberships - Paywalls - Email marketing - Mobile / desktop app - Workflows Fun fact: Rudy personally led this mega-initiative at Circle. We’ve always believed that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and it feels good to come full circle today 🥁 (Disclaimer: I’m not a fan of using ‘circle’ puns internally, but this one feels warranted 😆 )

This year, more than 12 million people chose to spend their time in Circle communities. As 2025 comes to a close, I’ve been thinking a lot about the special moments happening in our communities every day for those millions of people. While other platforms are built to keep people scrolling, our communities help people learn new skills, take new directions, and create meaningful change for themselves and others. Far from mindless engagement, Circle communities are about enabling personal and professional transformations. It's easy to forget that every transformation is a life changing event. For some, this could be a new career or a business, and for others it's a new lifestyle. Not many in the world get to claim something as good and grand as their vocation, but we do. We also believe in our heart that making money, impact, and meaning shouldn’t be a trade-off. We think there’s a way for every creator, entrepreneur, and business to achieve all three, and to stop for nothing less. Once you’ve truly achieved it, you get to jump out of bed every morning with insatiable passion, purpose, and desire to build something beautiful for the world. Like I do every day! On that note, I made a short video reflecting on this theme and our most notable releases this year. A TL;DR of our major releases this year 🤯 - AI Agents - AI Workflows - AI Copilot - AI Summaries - Desktop App - Website Builder - Custom App Builder - Visual Email Builder - Push Notifications Builder - Circle Connect - Video Player Redesign - Live Redesign - Voice Notes In addition to those major releases, we shipped 200+ minor improvements and design updates. THE TEAM TRULY GAVE IT THEIR ALL! As we wrap up the year, I want to share my heartfelt gratitude to every Circle team member and customer for being on this ride with us, and for the incredible effort you put in. You should be super proud. Circle is in the business of transformation. Every year, it gets a little less lonely to be building a company with transformation at the core, because people are finally starting to get it. The world needs us now more than ever. And thanks to reaching profitability this year, Circle will soon be hiring for 50+ roles across the company, with the majority of these in our engineering and design teams, solely focused on making our product better. Thank you ❤️ See you in 2026!

It's one of those fun and vibey days at Circle today! We're excited to announce Circle Connect: our way of helping members form true connections in communities. The Internet used to be about making true connections... But somewhere along the way, we've started to lose that. Posts, likes, reels, and stories took over, and "content" became king. While content has a part to play in communities, we at Circle want to do our part in making the Internet feel a lot more human again. Connect will be key to our part in this. Let's bring back those moments in our communities when strangers turn into collaborators, and collaborators into friends 🤝

Introducing the Circle MCP. You can connect your community to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini and use it to look up members, queue up posts, analyze threads, create spaces, develop courses, send DMs, bulk-create tags, and 100+ other things from your own AI ecosystem. It comes with both read AND write access, which makes it a lot more fun than other MCPs!

Today I'm excited to announce Circle Discover: A curated marketplace for finding the best communities, courses, and memberships — a category of products we're starting to call digital experiences. We're launching with some of my favorite creators on Circle, including Jay Shetty, Ali Abdaal, Brendon Burchard, Tiago Forte, and more.
