Building Stronger Local Communities
We're on a mission to connect people with amazing local businesses and help entrepreneurs thrive in their communities.
Our Story
Founded in 2016, our platform began with a simple observation: local businesses are the heart of thriving communities, but they often struggle to compete with larger chains in the digital space.
What started as a weekend project to help a friend's restaurant get discovered online has grown into a comprehensive platform serving over 50,000 local businesses across 500+ cities.
Today, we're proud to be the bridge between communities and the local businesses that make them special, from family restaurants to innovative startups.
Our Mission
"To empower local businesses with the tools and visibility they need to thrive, while helping communities discover and support the amazing entrepreneurs in their neighborhoods."
We believe that when local businesses succeed, entire communities benefit through job creation, economic growth, and stronger social connections.
Our Values
Community First
We believe strong local communities create thriving economies and happier people.
Customer Success
Our success is measured by the success of the businesses and users on our platform.

Everyone deserves access to local business discovery and promotion tools.
