A private space for your people
Create an invite-only community where members can speak freely. Not everything belongs on the public internet.
Some conversations need privacy
Not every community should be public. Support groups, mastermind circles, alumni networks—some discussions need a protected space.
A private forum gives your group a dedicated home. Control who joins. Keep discussions confidential. Build trust.

Built for private communities
Everything you need to run a secure, trusted space.
Invite-only access
Control exactly who can join. Approve members manually or share invite links.
Hidden from search
Private forums aren't indexed by search engines. Your discussions stay private.
Member management
See who's in your community. Remove members if needed. Full control.
From scattered DMs to organized community
A mastermind group of founders moved from group DMs to Forumera. Now their discussions have structure, resources are organized, and new members can read the history.
They say it feels more "real" than chat—like having an actual clubhouse instead of a group text.
