The Nabe
What if your neighborhood had an app?
The Vision · Confidential

The one app for the place you actually live.

A neighborhood social platform — everything that happens within walking distance, in one place. Most people on Nabe aren't apartment hunting; they're living their lives in their neighborhood. Real estate is a powerful feature for the few who need it — not the point.

The problem

Your whole neighborhood life — and nowhere to find it online. Today the answers are scattered across a dozen apps that don't talk to each other:

Facebook · groupsNextdoor · feedListing sites · scattered Yelp · reviewsEventbrite · eventsCitizen · alerts Craigslist · stuffTinder · datingTaskRabbit · prosCare.com · sitters

A dozen logins become one. One map, one identity, one neighborhood.

What's inside the app

Daily briefings + Right Now

Short reads through your day — then a real-time pulse: outages, lost dogs, alerts. Built to be read, then put down so you go live your life.

The Calendar

The engine of neighborhood life — an editorial "what's on," one-tap RSVP that drops onto your calendar. The bridge from feed to sidewalk.

Meet your people

Families find families, neighbors find their people, and singles meet someone real — grounded in who people actually are.

The Living Map

A map that's alive — where the neighborhood is buzzing right now, from your block to a moment anywhere in the world.

Explore + the Vault

Discover everything around you, plus a searchable collective memory written by people who live here — never paid ads or fake reviews.

Built-in AI

Grounded in real resident knowledge — answers "what's it like to live here?" and grows into a quiet neighborhood concierge.

Find an agent + pros

Find an agent by who they actually are — and every service provider neighborhood-verified, with real reviews and a visible track record.

Listings + Block Report

When you do need a home, Nabe tells you what it's really like — quiet hours, building reviews, the honest signals a listing never shows.

Vesta — civic layer

The same network that plans block parties becomes a lifeline in a crisis: live local intel, mutual aid, evacuation routes when it counts.

Why it lasts

Yr 1
Useful

A helpful start — the first building reviews.

Yr 3
Irreplaceable

Years of reviews, quiet hours mapped, change tracked.

Yr 5
A moat

A historical record no competitor can clone.

A rival can copy features in a weekend. They can't copy five years of a whole neighborhood pouring its knowledge in.

We don't tax the community — we charge professionals to be found. Deliberately low to win on adoption.

Why Compass

The consumer moat a brokerage needs against the listing portals. Instant distribution across ~340K agents in the Compass + Anywhere family solves the cold-start problem. Every brokerage shows the same listing — a Compass agent shows the listing and the truth about living there. Resident sentiment and neighborhood intelligence become a defensible asset, valuable far beyond brokerage.
