$KIND public listing

 Nextdoor launches its $KIND public listing with a global day of celebration and service.

KINDNESS is vital to our mission.

What began as a concept to use technology to create a location where neighbors could come together to improve their local communities has evolved into a platform where millions of neighbors around the world connect to the neighborhoods that are important to them.

Because of this, Nextdoor will be publicly listed as KIND, as kindness is central to Nextdoor's mission: to develop a kinder society in which everyone has a community they can rely on. When we say "kind," we suggest "respectful, friendly, and helpful." 

Sympathetic, and ready to act boldly and support one another Nextdoor's mission is to provide methods for neighbors to connect and be friendly to one another, both online and in person. We consider that a little kindness can make lifestyles easier, neighborhoods stronger, and the world a higher place. 

The public listing of Nextdoor will allow us to expand our mission beyond the neighborhoods we presently serve, bringing neighbors together to get things done locally while fostering thriving, more connected communities.

A day to celebrate

We started by sharing the moment the bell rang with our neighbors, employees, and board members in a "community" constructed outside of the NYSE.  The opening bell has been rung outside of the NYSE, we wanted this to be a day dedicated to people who are critical to developing stronger, more connected communities.

Several Neighborhood Favorite local businesses participated in the neighborhood activation, including Buunni Coffee, Brooklyn Blooms, and Black Seed Bagels.

The ASPCA additionally joined us in a canine park entertainment with two super Dane puppies, Cicada and Inchworm, and nine-year-old Dutch. A unique thanks to all of the animals that have been reunited with their households as a end result of Nextdoor! 

Charlo, a Denver-based artist known on Nextdoor for his neighborhood murals, created a one-of-a-kind design that was later donated to the ASPCA. Can you find the significant words and symbols that speak to the value of our communities?

A day of giving back

We believed it was necessary to give back after the celebration, so we gathered in the neighborhoods where we live and work to leave a lasting impact on the communities that mattered the most.

In New York, the members of our Board of Directors and the Advisory Boards volunteered alongside Nextdoor employees at God's Love We Deliver in Manhattan.

Over 100 employees, along with San Francisco Mayor London Breed, cleaned up our new HQ area in San Francisco's Tenderloin. Mayor Breed emphasized the importance of public-private collaborations in building stronger communities. Team Netherlands swept the canals free of plastic and garbage.

Neighborhoods are made up of many essential stakeholders, including neighbors, governmental agencies, organizations, and small and large companies. We are pleased that these stakeholders continue to believe in our long-term plan and see the benefits of investing in purpose-driven companies. 

Nextdoor is a neighborhood network with distinct differentiators that have propelled it to the forefront of growth: real people, genuine addresses, hyperlocal proximity, trusted information, local perspective, and instant dissemination.

Thank you for your contribution to this journey; besides you, we would no longer have been in a position to attain this milestone. Our communities have never been more essential, and we are thrilled to begin the next phase of our journey alongside you.
