Nextdoor Quarterly Investor Newsletter
Introduction
Dear Investors,
Welcome to our investor newsletter, where we share notable Nextdoor events, presentations, reports, and news.
Q2 of 2021 was an exciting quarter for us. We launched a number of product features such as Free Finds, and we continued to partner with brands to bring something unique to neighborhood audiences as we did with the Nextdoor Vaccine Map, sponsored by Albertsons Companies and Moderna. We showed significant momentum in Q2 2021 with revenue growing 66% year over year, driven by our product innovations, growing neighbor engagement, improvements to our monetization capabilities, and our ability to deliver value to a broad range of businesses, from local to enterprise. We released the fifth report in our Insights Series, in which we highlighted how neighbors spending habits have changed as a result of the pandemic. And we were recognized in the first-ever TIME100 Most Influential Companies List under the Disruptor category for connecting neighbors in meaningful ways during the past year.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or visit our website at investors.nextdoor.com for more information.
Thank you,
Nextdoor Investor Relations

#WalkWithMe campaign to build more inclusive, welcoming neighborhoods
Last year, Nashville neighbor Shawn Dromgoole posted on Nextdoor to share he no longer felt safe walking in his neighborhood following the murder of George Floyd. In response, hundreds of neighbors showed up to walk alongside him, sparking a nationwide trend of neighborhood solidarity walks. In May, in honor of the one-year anniversary, Nextdoor teamed up with Shawn to launch #WalkWithMe: a nationwide campaign calling on people to post on Nextdoor to invite neighbors to walk together to build more inclusive, welcoming neighborhoods.
Connecting Neighbors
Charlo is a visual artist and Mexican immigrant who lives with his husband in the Cheesman Park neighborhood of Denver. Last summer, he posted on Nextdoor in search of a blank wall to use as a canvas and fulfill his dream of painting a mural. A neighbor named Clay replied to offer up his garage door in a nearby alleyway. Charlo didnt expect his first mural to lead to much, but after Clay posted a picture back on Nextdoor of Charlos final product, the requests came pouring in He has now completed nearly 30 local murals, each incorporating hidden symbols and words that hold special meaning to that family or homeowner, and found a sense of community along the way.
