Founder story
Higher Logic was founded in 2007 in Arlington, Virginia, by Rob Wenger and Andy Steggles. Recognizing that associations struggled to maintain member engagement between annual events, the founders built a dedicated online community suite. The company expanded across both association and enterprise SaaS sectors, growing into an engagement platform serving thousands of global organizations.
