Our take
Whilst neighbors will often bump into each other and exchange some small talk, it can be difficult to build meaningful connections without knowing more about the person. Whilst community groups on social networks such as Facebook provide ways for neighbors to connect more meaningfully, this can also be a toxic environment full of gossip, scams, and advertisement for illegitimate services.
Nebenan.de provides a hyperlocal social network for neighbors in Germany, allowing users to connect with neighbors to sell and give away items, meet up for community events, and generally connect with people nearby. The platform also allows local organizations and companies to join, allowing them to advertise local shops, services, and non-profits.
Whilst social networks such as Nextdoor will present competition to Nebenan.de, the company has taken a unique focus not only on facilitating neighborhood socializing but also to help local businesses, services, and non-profits thrive. Through this approach, the company aims to bring neighborhood communities closer together, filling the gap in the market before companies such as Nextdoor expand to provide services for Germany.
