Capture RSVPs, attendance, and outcomes by neighborhood so every event tells a story sponsors understand.
Illuminate your
community.
Cities are where builders, mentors, and quiet contributors cross paths. Lucoly turns those crossings into momentum — events that actually show up, communities that grow on their own, and the receipts to prove it.

// OUR STORY
Built in Nashville to turn the lights back on.
For years, finding Nashville's tech community meant cobbling together half-broken Meetup pages, group chats, and word-of-mouth — and Meetup was getting expensive enough that organizers were quietly leaving the platform. There was no calendar that showed what was actually happening, no easy way for a newcomer to plug in. We just wanted one place: a map of who was building what, and when.
after Covid−40%meetups gone
Then Covid hit. Forty percent of the small meetups we'd been quietly tracking simply disappeared. Code for Nashville — the civic-volunteering arm a lot of us had grown up in — closed its doors. A whole layer of how this city connected to itself just went dark.
That's when Nashville Tech Builders started — a 501(c)(3) built to turn the lights back on. We built the calendar. We built the directory. We built the tools to track groups, events, hackathons, badges, and projects so the next person looking for their community didn't have to start from scratch.
Lucoly is that toolkit, packaged for every city with the same hole to fill — and every dollar a city pays here flows right back into the network. We're still a 501(c)(3). That part isn't changing.
