At Pensil, we set out to build the most comprehensive platform for launching and managing thriving online communities.
Our creators now build more engaged communities, connect with their audiences in meaningful ways, and turn their expertise into sustainable businesses. Together, they've launched thousands of communities, facilitated millions of interactions, and created spaces where learning and connection flourish. See the incredible communities built on our platform.
I am beyond thrilled to announce our next chapter: Pensil is being acquired by SpatialChat. Together, we will build the definitive platform for virtual community engagement!
We will now accelerate our entire roadmap. We will invest even more deeply in community building and engagement tools, create new experiences that transform how communities gather and interact, and develop spatial features that make virtual communities feel more alive than ever. More below…
The connection with SpatialChat became clear when we realized how many of our most successful communities were craving more immersive ways to connect.
While Pensil excels at helping creators launch and manage engaged communities, SpatialChat has mastered the art of making virtual interactions feel natural and spontaneous. Their platform transforms traditional video calls into immersive experiences where networking happens organically, just like in real life.
When we saw how our community creators were struggling with the limitations of flat, grid-based video calls for events and gatherings, we knew there was a better way. The future of online communities isn't just about content and engagement; it's about creating spaces where people genuinely want to spend time together.
Community building and Spatial interaction turn out to be perfect complements. The best online communities regularly host events, and the most memorable virtual events create lasting communities. SpatialChat's immersive networking capabilities serve thousands of event organizers who are reimagining how people connect in virtual spaces.
SpatialChat has also built something remarkable: technology that makes virtual interaction feel human. Unlike traditional video conferencing, their spatial approach lets people move freely, have spontaneous conversations, and network naturally, just like at in-person events.
The combination is powerful. Pensil's community management tools will enhance SpatialChat's events with ongoing engagement, while SpatialChat's spatial interaction will transform how Pensil’s communities gather and connect.
With our combined resources, we will now accelerate everything we do. We will invest even more in community building and our core engagement features. We will create spatial gathering spaces, connecting them seamlessly with comprehensive community management. We will reimagine how online communities come together, learn, and grow.
Imagine communities that feel alive through spatial interaction; ongoing engagement that seamlessly flows between daily community life and special events; AI-powered insights that help creators build more connected audiences; and gathering experiences that bridge the gap between virtual and in-person community building.
We could not be more excited to build the future of virtual community engagement, a platform where meaningful connections happen naturally, communities thrive through immersive interaction, and every gathering strengthens the bonds between members!
The Pensil founding team is joining forces with SpatialChat to continue leading and growing Pensil pushing the boundaries of community technology and driving breakthroughs in AI, engagement, and scale, now supercharged by SpatialChat’s global reach and expertise.
We’ll be investing heavily in AI agents and research & development, pushing the boundaries of how communities form, scale, and thrive online. This integration isn’t just about growth—it’s about creating the most intelligent, interactive, and future-ready community platform in the world.
I want to share my heartfelt gratitude with every creator, every community member, and every team member who has made this journey possible.
To our creators, community members, investors, and every team member past and present thank you.
