Easy Board

What Easy Board does

Easy Board is a unified, cloud-based board management SaaS platform operated by BrandHoot LLC and primarily serves U.S.-based nonprofit organizations, associations, committees, and mission-driven entities, with secondary reach into small and mid-market for-profit boards. The product consolidates meeting scheduling, agenda and document management, committee coordination, board member directories, polls, and calendar synchronization into a single portal; signature capabilities include passwordless "Magic Links" one-click access from email or calendar invitations, an onboarding path designed for users with mixed technical skill levels, AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit hosted on Amazon S3, optional 2-Factor Authentication, role-based access control, and integrations with Google Calendar, Outlook (via Microsoft Entra organizational consent), iCal, Yahoo, AOL calendars, and Zoom.

Revenue is generated through annual subscription tiers with the first 10 seats included and additional seats sold on a per-seat basis that is pro-rated mid-cycle. Go-to-market combines a sales-assisted free demo funnel (Calendly-scheduled) with a self-serve signup and 60-day trial, supported by a 90-day money-back guarantee and an unusually broad referral ecosystem of 30+ nonprofit consultants, fractional CFOs, fundraisers, and AI strategists who direct clients to Easy Board.

The company is privately held, bootstrapped since its 2012 founding, headquartered in Minnesota, and led by founder and CEO Nate Nordstrom. It positions itself as the easy-to-use, affordable alternative to enterprise board portals, anchored by a streak of independent recognition including Capterra "Best Ease of Use" four consecutive years, Capterra Best Value 2026, Software Advice FrontRunners 2026, Gartner Best Customer Satisfaction in Board Management 2026, and GetApp #1 in the USA 2025, alongside a stated 96%+ customer renewal rate and 10,000+ board and committee members served.
