Circle

I've had to keep this a secret since my first week at Circle ... Yesterday Ruben Hassid sent this to his paid subscribers. I know many of you are very familiar with his work and he's probably the reason you switched over to Claude. He's spent three years building 'How To AI' into one of the most followed AI education communities on the internet. His promise has been super clear since day 1: He can help you master AI in plain english without ever writing a line of code. Now he reaches over a million subscribers on LinkedIn, 600,000+ on his newsletter, and growing fast. Smart operators like Ruben know the difference between a tool bolted onto a business (like Slack) and the thing a business can actually be built around. Today it's official. Welcome to Team Circle Ruben Hassid Look forward to helping you shape this once-in-a-lifetime revolution. CC: Sid Yadav Will Mannon

Starting today, you can now connect your Circle community to the AI tools you already use. Introducing the Circle MCP https://circle.so/mcp

If you’re building an audience, you’ve probably felt this tension:   You’re creating content. You’re gaining followers. But turning that attention into a sustainable business? That part isn’t always clear. That’s exactly why we partnered with Jay Clouse, Founder of Creator Science, to create a 5-part video masterclass all about how to turn your audience into real revenue. In under four years, Jay has built a membership business that generates more than $450,000 annually. In this course, he walks through the core playbooks and systems that made it possible.

We’re proud to be featured in Flexa’s 2026 Talent Insights Report for how we’re integrating AI across the company. From hiring to product development, we’re exploring how AI can remove friction so our team can focus on creativity, empathy, and building meaningful experiences for our community. The way we build internally mirrors how we enable our customers to build: reduce overhead, increase leverage, and keep humans at the center. It’s an exciting time to be building at Circle.

Happening live tomorrow. Three sessions. Six community leaders. One clear goal: helping you build community with confidence, clarity, and intention for 2026. Register here: https://lnkd.in/ekYYxKsJ

I’m hosting a free, 3-hour live event on February 3rd with some of my all-time favorite community builders — and I’d love to invite you 😊 We’ll dive into the biggest shifts from the latest Circle Community Trends Report, but instead of adding more things to your already long to-do list, we’ll focus on helping you make better decisions about what actually deserves your time in 2026. If you're thinking of building a community this year, or already running one but feeling a little overwhelmed or unclear on where to focus, this one is for you! Here's what we have planned: - Building a culture of experimentation in communities - From trends to tradeoffs: the big community bets for 2026 - How to run your community like a product Plus, I’ll pull back the curtain a bit and share how we’re thinking about community strategy at Circle going into 2026. And we'll wrap up by sharing a practical resource you can use to turn everything you’ve learned into a clear 2026 community roadmap. I'm super excited about this one and hope to see many of you there! 📅 Feb 3 | 12–3pm ET 🎟️ Save your seat: Link in comments!

When building a community, it’s tempting to copy-paste playbooks from others. But each community is a unique as its members. Instead, build a culture of experimentation. Encourage curiosity. Embrace the messiness. Let people make mistakes and learn together. Join me on Feb 3rd with Circle to explore how you can turn your community into a collective lab where all curious minds are welcome. RSVP for free: https://lnkd.in/eFYKPNnS
