What HelpfulVillage.com does

HelpfulVillage.com (legal entity: Revolutionaging Inc.) is a Berkeley-based SaaS company that operates a vertical software platform purpose-built for the "Village Movement" — neighborhood-based non-profit membership organizations that enable seniors to age in their own homes through peer-to-peer services, volunteer coordination, and community support. Founded in 2015 by software engineer Manuel Acevedo (Master's in Communication Systems, ETH Zurich), the company was selected by the UC-Berkeley LAUNCH accelerator in 2016 and now serves more than 110 village organizations across 29 US states and Canada, with usage also reported in Australia.

The core product is a 14-module integrated village-management platform accessible via web, iPhone, iPad, and Amazon Alexa. Modules cover volunteer matching, service-request fulfillment, financial management, statistical reporting, member directories, event calendars, donation tracking, document storage, wellness check-ins, village maps, geocoding, SMS outreach, a built-in website builder, and Zoom-integrated video conferencing. The platform is positioned as a single replacement for what would otherwise be a stack of generic community-management tools, with pricing designed for non-profit budget constraints.

The business model is predominantly subscription-based, tiered into an In-Development package ($50/month plus $330 enrollment) for emerging villages and an Established package ($1.50 per active member per month, $75/month minimum, $330 enrollment for new villages or $3,300 for data migration from prior systems). Premium add-on modules (Zoom at $10/month, GeoCoding at $10 per 1,000 requests, SMS at $6/month plus per-segment fees, Wellness Check-ins and Village Maps at $10 per 100 members) layer incremental usage-based revenue. Professional services — training ($75-$150/hour) and customization ($90-$150/unit) — provide additional one-time and project-based revenue. Distribution is anchored by an official partnership with the Village to Village Network, the national industry association, supplemented by AARP AgeTech Collaborative backing, self-serve free trials, inside-sales demos, and targeted conference and webinar marketing aimed at a niche but growing addressable market estimated at 240+ open villages and 100+ in development across the United States.

Emerging players

• GrandPad: Simplified tablet and connectivity service purpose-built for older adults to reduce social isolation and connect with family/caregivers. Comparable as a senior-focused engagement technology, though distributed via hardware rather than SaaS.
• iN2L (It's Never 2 Late): Senior-engagement technology platform used by senior living communities to deliver content, video calls, and activities. Comparable as an aging-focused engagement platform targeting older adults in community settings, with partial overlap on programming and wellness check-ins.
• GetSetUp: Online learning marketplace for older adults, offering peer-led classes on technology, health, and hobbies. Comparable as an aging-focused engagement platform that helps seniors stay connected and learn, intersecting with village programming and member engagement.
• CarePredict: AI-powered wearable and analytics platform for older adults aging in place, offering wellness insights and early warning of health changes. Comparable as an aging-in-place technology with a wellness-tracking angle that overlaps with Helpful Village's Wellness Check-ins module.

Direct peers

• MemberClicks: All-in-one association and membership management platform for small-staff non-profits, with member databases, event management, and email communications. Comparable because it serves the same volunteer-run, small-staff non-profit buyer with similar workflows.
• YourMembership (Community Brands): Membership and engagement software for associations and member-based organizations, with modules for events, directories, fundraising, and learning. Comparable to Helpful Village as a horizontal platform for membership-based organizations that villages could substitute.
• WildApricot (Personify): Leading membership-management SaaS for non-profits and associations, with member directories, events, payments, and website building. Comparable because it targets the same membership-organization buyer as Helpful Village and is the most likely substitute for villages evaluating software.

Broad incumbents

• WellSky: Large, established health and community-care software company with solutions spanning personal care, hospice, home health, and senior living. Comparable as a broader aging-services software incumbent that could move down-market into Village-style organizations.

Others

• CiviCRM: Open-source CRM and constituent-management platform widely used by non-profits and membership organizations. Comparable as a free/cheap alternative for budget-constrained villages evaluating software against Helpful Village's paid platform.
• Aging 2.0: Global innovation platform and network focused on aging and senior care, which has recognized Helpful Village. Comparable as an ecosystem convener and portfolio aggregator whose member companies represent potential partners and competitive entrants in the aging-tech space.
