Every day we can be distracted with advertising. It pops up in our inbox, newsfeed articles and interrupts videos, podcasts and music.  

Collective is different. Our model focuses on fairness and user autonomy. Member listings are randomized for equal opportunity exposure. Users have complete control over their search results, using filters to narrow the listings by keyword, category or location.

No ads.
No distractions.

Collective is completely ad free; no pop-ups. The only ads are the ones that promote the directory. The website itself is designed to help users easily find and connect with businesses and organizations in their community.

Real content
by real people.

Information is not auto generated. We work together to provide helpful resources and insights from people who are knowledgeable in their fields.

Lifetime value.
No subscription.

Our community directory is all about providing information. We do this through member listings, resources and events. We believe in a service based model for setup and maintenance; pay only when you need or want something.

Members of Collective believe they have something to offer others in their community. Collective is here to showcase the services and the products of the members in a user driven way.

We are doing something different. And we'd love to have you join us.
