Stop managing your board. Start activating them.
Most board software is a digital filing cabinet. Mainspring is an executive command center that maps your board’s “Warm Graph” and turns passive connections into an active corporate sponsorship pipeline.
WORKINGGala sponsorships ahead of last year’s pace.
STUCKNeed three more legislator meetings booked.
FOCUSWarm corporate intros before year-end giving.
Your board already has the network. Mainspring gives it a launchpad.
Executive Directors don’t need another place to store PDFs. They need a board that moves. Mainspring converts goodwill into measurable momentum, one action at a time.
Board software that waits for you
- Rosters, folders and a calendar nobody opens between meetings.
- “Who do you know?” asked once a year, answered never.
- A separate dictation subscription and a weekend writing minutes.
- Follow-ups lost in reply-all threads.
A board that launches itself
- Every member sees the Staff Pulse and their next action on one screen.
- The board’s collective corporate network, mapped and ranked.
- Set the phone on the table; get structured minutes for review.
- One-tap hand-offs to staff, with leadership copied.
Uncover hidden revenue, instantly.
Stop guessing who your board knows. Mainspring securely maps your board’s collective corporate network through local, ephemeral data parsing. We reveal the strongest corporate connections without ever storing personal contact data, giving your staff a frictionless pipeline to pursue.
- Members load their LinkedIn export on their own phone. It’s counted by company and discarded on the device.
- Companies are tiered automatically: Institutional Access (20+ connections) and Warm Footprint (5–19).
- Opportunity Scores and postures move each company from research to active pursuit.
Turn 3-hour meetings into compliance-ready minutes.
Drop the separate subscriptions for dictation tools. Simply set your phone on the table. Mainspring natively records, transcribes, and structures your meeting minutes using enterprise-grade AI, then automatically distributes styled board packets 48 hours before your next session.
- Mark motions and votes live; the marks anchor to the transcript timeline.
- One draft, three profiles: Executive Summary, Action Items & Motions Log, Detailed Discussion.
- Nothing reaches the board until your secretary reviews, edits and publishes. Audio is destroyed after transcription.
Frictionless hand-offs. Total visibility.
Replace endless email threads with targeted action items. Board members can see the exact “Staff Pulse,” select dynamic annual commitments (like “Gala Tables Sold”), and seamlessly hand off mature relationships to foundation staff with a single tap.
- Progress rings for every member’s commitments, rolled up into board totals.
- Staff post urgent asks; volunteers claim them in one tap.
- Hand-offs email the right staff member with the next action, CCing the ED and Chair.
Live in a week. Momentum in 90 days.
Built for the way boards actually adopt tools: almost nothing required on day one, and value on the first screen.

Engineered so the sensitive data never arrives.
The safest data is the data we never collect. Mainspring was designed around that rule, not retrofitted to it.
On-device network parsing
LinkedIn exports are read on the member’s phone. Names, emails and profile links are discarded there. Only company names and counts the member chooses are saved.
Ephemeral audio
Meeting audio is deleted the moment the transcript returns, success or failure. Abandoned uploads are swept within hours.
Isolated workspaces
Every board’s data is separated by row-level security in the database. One board can never read another’s.
No PHI. No scraping.
No health information, no scraping of third-party APIs, no advertising or analytics SDKs, and no sale of personal data.
Human-approved AI
AI drafts are never shown to the board until an approver edits and publishes them. Your content is not used to train AI models.
Right to be forgotten
Members can delete their account in the app. Their shared board work stays with the organization as “Former Board Volunteer.”
Predictable pricing that fits the ED’s budget.
No per-seat surprises and no metered AI bills. One flat rate per board, with audio upgrades when your committees need them.
