CollectiveX [825]is a web-based service that enables group members to maximize return on involvement through private, secure communication, coordination and social networking. Features include: member profiles (a real-time bio-builder which incorporates member objectives and key connections), group calendars, discussions, email blasts and file sharing.

CollectiveX is pioneering a new class of social networking services designed explicitly for organized groups. It combines the best of group coordination and communication (a category currently occupied by Yahoo! Groups) with social networking capabilities beyond LinkedIn and other such services. It redefines social networking by allowing members to privately, securely share objectives and relevant connections within trusted group affiliations. The "walled garden approach" (where contact with any group is by invitation only) is intended to build trust among the service's users.

The real power of CollectiveX is its multi-group capabilities. Members can belong to multiple groups, choosing what to share in the context of each group affiliation. This enables users to effectively juggle personal and professional interests online – everything from your homeowner’s association, to a professional membership organization to your kids’ soccer team.

CollectiveX has a sustainable business model predicated on a combination of viral growth and subscription fees.

CollectiveX’s CEO is Clarence Wooten. Coined a “serial entrepreneur” by Entrepreneur Magazine, Clarence Wooten has co-founded and operated numerous businesses that leverage technology-based platforms and tools for multimedia, computer-aided design and the Internet. Clarence founded his first company while an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University in 1991 and from there, continued to build successful ventures. In 1998, he founded and was CEO of ImageCafé.com, a leading e-commerce website solutions company, touted as the Internet's first ready-made web site superstore. ImageCafé was acquired by Network Solutions/Verisign in 1999. Most recently he served as a general partner of Venturepreneur Partners [826], a newly formed venture capital firm.
