Neighbz

neighbZ is a community platform developed by Trinity Proximity Inc. as a response to the challenges faced by locally-owned businesses due to the influence of corporate giants. The company's dedication is to empower these businesses with technologies that large corporations cannot replicate at a local level. In addition to their business passion, the founders' personal faith, reflected in the company name, plays a central role in their lives. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns about the negative impact of mainstream social media, a spiritual vision unfolded in late 2022. This vision led to the creation of neighbZ, an all-inclusive platform with proprietary technology designed to unite communities under the umbrella of Christ-centered data and information. neighbZ offers users free access to local family-centered events, positive local news, Christian-based national news, local job listings, and special features for local businesses. The platform sustains itself without charging users or businesses by avoiding national advertisers and relying on God's provision. Locally-owned businesses can opt for affordable, optional special features to enhance their presence. The platform distinguishes itself from mainstream social media by providing a clean, Christ-centered environment with transparent information display. The founders challenge users to sign up for a free neighbZ account, discontinue using mainstream social media for 40 days, and shift their focus to positive, Christ-centered news on neighbZ, promising a reduction in anxiety and an improvement in attitude. While acknowledging that neighbZ is not flawless, the founders value user trust and encourage feedback as they continue to develop and refine the platform.
