> you can't make money with a user-friendly platform for hosting community groups

Well, hopefully, you're wrong!

The gist of my plan is to focus on a broader range of groups/communities, with the larger groups who want/need premium organiser features (or paid promotions in listings, etc) footing the bill for smaller, free groups.

Smaller communities/groups that don't collect fees from their members are likely what make up the bulk of groups that exist - so I don't think it makes sense to exclude them by not having a free option. They're what will bring more value to the discovery side of the platform, IMO.
