About Nextdoor

At Nextdoor, we have an enormous opportunity: restoring communication, connectedness, and community to neighborhoods around the globe. It’s a bold goal, but if you think about it, we are in danger of losing touch with the people right outside our front door. The neighborhood has played a key role to so many, and could be thought of as the original social network, yet now many don’t know a single neighbor by name. If your first taste of business was behind a lemonade stand, or you remember the days of borrowing a cup of sugar from your neighbor, or you know the present-day struggle of finding a strong sense of community in your neighborhood, then you’re one of us.
