Welcome to Civil Street

Where community isn't just a buzzword – it's our heartbeat. Launched as a passion project, we're committed to redefining how neighbors connect and thrive in their cherished residential nooks. Imagine a cozy digital neighborhood, where every building has its own vibrant space to come alive. At Civil Street, our mission is to cultivate a sense of belonging and camaraderie by providing dedicated online spaces where residents can interact, share, and support each other.

Our Platform

In our digital ecosystem, each residential building is welcomed into the fold of Civil Street. This dedicated platform empowers residents to effortlessly join and actively engage in their digital community. Central to our platform are two key features:

Virtual Bulletin Board: Replacing the filthy, unmaintained cork board at the entrance of your apartment building. Our virtual bulletin board allows residents to share information and announcements anonymously.

Chat Room: A dedicated chatroom for all of the residents the building. Come here to ask your neighbors where the best bagel shop is.

Nearby Cafes: We map out all of your closest cafes so you can stay caffeinated whenever you need a pick-me-up.

Our team

Our journey at Civil Street is fueled by a team of dedicated volunteers. Primarily engineers with full-time day jobs, they generously contribute their free time to this project. Allow us to introduce them:

What's Next

Our sights are set on completing the MVP by the summer. Concurrently, we're hard at work crafting a compelling marketing deck to support our funding applications in the coming year. We'll be rolling out platform testing with friends, family, and the residents of my current building.
