— WHO WE ARE

Sixth Hive is a business matchmaking platform powered by AI that provides professional matchmaking and network-building tools for professional network and community builders.

Why do we accept that finding the right people in business should be hard? Sixth Hive was created to make professional opportunity more intentional: less noise, less guessing, and more conversations that have a reason to happen.

what Sixth Hive does

Professional matchmaking

Members share what they are working towards, who they want to meet, and where they need support. Sixth Hive uses that intent and profile context to surface relevant professionals, partners, collaborators, talent, advisers, and opportunities, so people can spend less time searching and more time deciding what to do next.

Daily opportunity matches

The public product journey is simple: tell Sixth Hive what you want to achieve, receive three matches daily, and start with a reason to talk. That gives professionals a manageable rhythm for discovering people worth meeting instead of asking them to keep scrolling through an endless feed.

Member matchmaking for networks

Network and community builders can help their members find one another around goals, needs, experience, and what they can offer. The outcome is a more active network that creates value between members without every introduction having to pass through the person who runs the community.

Event matchmaking

Event organisers can match attendees by their goals, interests, experience, and reasons for attending before chance takes over. That helps a room become more than a list of names: people arrive with context, a relevant conversation to begin, and a clearer next step.

Community insights

Sixth Hive helps network builders see what members need, how members are connecting, and where new opportunities are forming. Those signals can inform programming, introductions, partnerships, and the next improvements a network should make.

Introduction and communication support

Each match is designed to come with a reason the introduction makes sense, so the first message has somewhere useful to start. Paid plans currently include clearer match explanations, unlimited opportunity responses, Maya Chat, priority matching, and advanced insights.

what makes Sixth Hive different

Three daily matches instead of an endless feed

Sixth Hive’s free experience includes three daily matches and no card payment required. When people compare it with LinkedIn, Circle, or Mighty Networks, the important distinction is the starting point: Sixth Hive begins with who you are trying to meet and what you are trying to achieve, not with an invitation to browse more content.

A three-step path from intention to conversation

The core journey has three visible steps: tell us what you want to achieve, receive three matches daily, then start with a reason to talk. That clarity gives Sixth Hive a different operating rhythm from broad platforms such as LinkedIn and community tools such as Geneva, where the route from profile or membership to a relevant conversation is less explicitly defined.

Built for professional networks as well as individual professionals

Sixth Hive serves both sides of the relationship: the person looking for the right opportunity and the person responsible for creating a useful network. Circle, Mighty Networks, and Bevy may enter the comparison when a team is choosing community or event infrastructure; Sixth Hive adds a specific matchmaking layer for members, professionals, and event attendees.

Free entry with published monthly and annual options

Sixth Hive publishes a free plan, a Pro plan at £19 per month when billed annually or £29 monthly, and a Business plan at £69 per month when billed annually or £79 monthly. That gives a professional a clear way to start, while network builders can compare the Business scope with more programme-led options such as Bevy or On Deck without needing to request pricing before understanding the basic offer.

Designed around outcomes, not only attendance or membership

Sixth Hive treats a match as the beginning of a useful conversation, not the end of the experience. In the Cannes Lions 2026 FT Teahouse activation, Sixth Hive publicly described 34 invitation-only sessions across five days, with three or four people per table and one clear next step from each 30-minute conversation; compared with an On Deck-style cohort or a traditional event directory, the unit of value is the relevant conversation itself.

the team behind Sixth Hive

Flavilla Fongang, founder

Flavilla Fongang founded Sixth Hive after more than 15 years building brands, communities, and professional networks. She kept seeing the same problem: talented people and valuable opportunities were often in the same room, but there was no reliable system to help them find one another.

Flavilla is also a brand strategist, serial entrepreneur, author, and keynote speaker focused on the Network Economy, AI-era leadership, and the psychology of opportunity. Her work brings the human question back into networking: what happens when the right people meet with enough context to do something meaningful together?

Patrick Dajan Mouelle, chief technology officer

Patrick Dajan Mouelle leads the technical direction of Sixth Hive and owns the platform end to end. He brings more than 15 years of experience building serious systems, with a focus on AI strategy, architecture, and turning ambitious product ideas into working infrastructure.

The company origin story

Sixth Hive began with a simple observation: the right people are often already in the room, but they never find each other. The company was incorporated in England in 2023, and the platform has grown from that founding belief into a business matchmaking system for professionals, networks, communities, and events.

The team composition

Sixth Hive is a founder-led company with leadership across category building, product, engineering, community, marketing, and customer operations. The team keeps the work close to the people using the platform, so product decisions stay connected to the conversations, networks, and opportunities the company is trying to improve.

how Sixth Hive works

1. Set up your profile. Start with the work you do, what you are building, what you want to achieve, and the kinds of people or opportunities you want to discover.
2. Receive relevant matches. The standard journey delivers three daily matches. Each match is intended to explain why the introduction may make sense, so you can choose where to focus.
3. Start the conversation. Use the match context and in-product communication to decide whether to reach out. Pro members can also use Maya Chat, advanced match explanations, and unlimited opportunity responses.
4. Build or join a network. Professionals can participate as members, while network builders can create a more active member experience through matchmaking, introductions, event matching, and community insights.
5. Work with the right Sixth Hive contact. Self-serve members can begin independently. Network-builder, event, and partnership programmes are scoped with the relevant founder, product, technical, or community contact based on the size and shape of the work.
6. Agree the turnaround for bespoke work. Daily matching is product-led; event, partnership, and network-builder programmes are planned around the event date, member cohort, data requirements, and success measures. Sixth Hive does not publish a general customer-support SLA, so bespoke timelines should be confirmed during onboarding.

For trust and safety reports, Sixth Hive says it aims to acknowledge reports within 24 hours; that is a moderation target, not a contractual customer-support commitment.
