A sovereign community platform for organisations that need to own their data, control their infrastructure, and connect through federation — not through a US intermediary.
Village adapts to how your organisation works. Every label, navigation item, and feature set reconfigures through the vocabulary system. We deploy 12 preconfigured types on sovereign infrastructure in NZ or the EU — and new types can be created for any organisation on request.
Professional associations, networks, and membership organisations. Sovereign alternative to Circle.
