Business Model

• We will never sell personal information or bombard users with banners or pop-ups.

• Currently privately funded by several Venture Capital Firms and individual investors.

Neighbor Testimonial

“Since Nextdoor, we finally feel like a neighborhood. Our communication has become more frequent, open and helpful. We‘ve seen lost pets get returned in minutes; unwanted ping pong tables finding new homes in a matter of posts; and a heightened sense of security throughout the neighborhood when a recent crime wave hit.”

Neighbor Testimonial

“The value of Nextdoor hit close to home when a teenager was diagnosed with meningitis. His parents used Nextdoor to alert everyone in the community to this life-threatening situation and get other kids tested immediately. The ability to broadcast the news through Nextdoor very likely saved other lives.”

Nicole PerkinsNextdoor WoodsideWoodside, CA

Neighbor Testimonial

“We have an elderly woman living alone in the neighborhood who has cancer, and is undergoing treatments, and is quite frail and vulnerable. She recently had a security issue, and when neighbors got wind of it through Nextdoor, they came out of the woodwork to offer assistance. It was heartwarming to see the outpouring of goodwill for a neighbor.”
