Collectors MD is proud to announce a new partnership with Evive, a free mobile app that helps people understand their relationship with gambling and find support—bringing practical tools to collectors navigating compulsive spending and gambling-like mechanics in the hobby. As part of this collaboration, Collectors MD will host a dedicated peer-support group inside the Evive Community, creating a direct bridge between in-app recovery tools and live, recovery-informed support.

This collaboration connects Collectors MD’s peer support, education, and accountability with Evive’s evidence-informed in-app guardrails—so people can pause, plan, and rebuild healthier habits one day at a time.

Why This Matters

Compulsive collecting often mirrors gambling—live breaks, razzes, repacks, and high-velocity marketplaces can trigger chasing, overspending, secrecy, and emotional fallout. Many collectors (and their families) need both community support and day-to-day structure.

This partnership helps bridge that gap: weekly meetings and education from Collectors MD, paired with Evive’s tools to help manage urges, budgeting, and recovery routines—so support doesn’t end when the meeting does.

How It Works

• Collectors MD Community Inside Evive: A dedicated Collectors MD subgroup in the Evive Community, moderated by Alyx Effron, with weekly peer-support meetings, discussion threads, and curated resources for collectors and their families.

• In-App Signposting: A Collectors MD resource card inside Evive for one-tap access to meetings, Daily Reflections, and recovery guides.

• Warm Hand-Offs: Clear pathways between the Evive app and Collectors MD meetings so support continues between sessions—without friction or confusion.

• Community Crossover: Joint content, AMAs, and ongoing resource updates that live both in the Evive Community and across Collectors MD channels.

• Collectors MD Advisory Board: David Robbins, Head of Product at Evive, has joined our Advisory Board. David brings a unique combination of deep hobby knowledge and tech-startup experience, strengthening our strategy as we continue to scale.

Why Evive? Why Now?

Evive is a fast-growing digital recovery platform used by people rebuilding their relationship with risk and money. Pairing Evive’s daily guardrails with Collectors MD’s peer-led model gives our community immediate, modern support—exactly when triggers hit. This framework is designed to scale and adapt across collecting verticals and adjacent industries.
