Find great things to do with people nearby that you can trust
Neighbourhood is a location-based social network, helping you:
- Expand your connections across your neighbourhood (andĀ invite in friends from elsewhere)
- Explore your surroundings via meaningful connections and trustworthy recommendations.
- BUILD TRUST IN WHAT YOU SEE…
Features
- Join and create groups (subhoods) based on your interests e.g. sci-fi movies, table tennis, snowboarding – then attend subhood activities in the real world
- Subhoods are centred around a location, however trusted members canĀ invite others from beyond the local area
- Create groups inside subhoods based on different levels of trust
- Receive intelligent recommendations of other subhoods to join
- See trusted reviews on leisure and entertainment around you
Technology and design
The platform will be mobile-optimised and make use of location and proximity information. It will be delivered for users asĀ native mobile applications (iPhone, Android, etc.) and a cross-platform mobile responsive web application. We are exploring the use of different levels of user identity and blockchain to support security, privacy and trust.
Business model
Neighbourhood will recommend local services to users based on their location, earning commission and advertising revenue fromĀ affiliate, sponsorship and advertising agreements with local services and intermediate platforms. Find out more about our business model here.
