SilkStart Technology Inc.

SilkStart is a membership management platform that helps organizations get more happy members and sell out more events. SilkStart makes it easy for anyone to create an online membership community while eliminating the pain to do any costly back-office work. Membership organizations use SilkStart to reduce operational and marketing costs, improve membership retention, and increase sales. SilkStart's mission is to revitalize associations and membership organizations around the world. SilkStart believes that a well-equipped association can change the world by empowering its members and volunteers to easily communicate and connect with one another to make a difference. Why the name SilkStart? Silk is derived from the Silk Road, which is the first trading route from China, to India, to Europe. The Silk Road revitalized the exchange of culture, knowledge, skills, and goods & services among nations — it was a significant factor in the development of the great civilizations of China, India, Egypt, Persia, Arabia, and Rome, and in several respects helped lay the foundations for the modern world. Therefore, we want to help every organization build that Silk Road to jumpstart the community they serve to make a difference around the world.
