Good Hood GmbH / nebenan.de

Good Hood GmbH operates nebenan.de, a neighborhood platform where residents connect with people nearby. Users can sell, give away or swap items in a local marketplace, ask for or offer neighborly help such as tool lending and babysitting, and follow local information and groups. Users register with their real name and address, which the company verifies during sign-up.

The app is free for private users. According to the website, its financing rests on three sources: voluntary contributions from private users, advertising from local businesses, non-profit organizations, cities and municipalities, and clearly labelled paid advertising content. The site states that more than 4 million people are registered and that 15 thousand neighborhoods are connected through the platform.

Good Hood GmbH was founded in 2015 and has its office in Berlin-Kreuzberg; the team page states 120 employees. The nebenan.de Stiftung, a non-profit subsidiary, was founded in 2017. The company lists seven open positions, all in Berlin, including a Senior Ruby on Rails engineer for Trust & Safety, product and conversion analysts, CRM, sales and advertising partnership roles, and a People team lead.

Product: Free neighborhood app with a local marketplace for buying, selling and giving away items, neighborly help requests, local information, groups and events, plus a business profile option.
