Hello Product Hunt 👋🏼
As someone who spends a lot of time around founders, one thing I've noticed is how broken startup hiring discovery still is.
Great startups are hiring every day, yet finding them often means jumping between LinkedIn, company websites, X and funding databases.
Instead of being another job board, NextDoor.Company helps you discover high-quality startups on a map and gives you the context that actually matters.
Have seen how obsessed Sankalp is in solving for this space and I'll let him tell the story behind why he built it.
Over to you, Sankalp 👇

@akhilbvs thank you Akhil!
👋 Hey makers! My name is Sankalp. I recently turned 33 and I live in this beautiful city in India called Bangalore.
I've been a Product Designer for 14+ years and I've been designing digital products for founders and startups over the years.
It's also been a long time I showcased something to the PH community. The last time I created a product & showed here was in 2018. Ouch!!
But times have changed. AI has now given designers super powers. So last year, I quit my full-time $15,000 monthly salary to build my own ideas.
Been solopreneuring for about 12 months and today I'm launching NextDoor.Company on PH!
NextDoor.Company started as a weekend hackathon project because I kept seeing growth news about startups and their hiring spree, but at the same time my friends kept complaining: "If startups are hiring actively, where are they?" or "I can't find good startups on LinkedIn or Indeed anymore."
So I built a map-first job discovery platform that shows you top-tier startups actively hiring near you. Since August last year, I've been hand curating top-tier startups globally, and now it hosts 16,000+ live job openings, updated every week.
Unlike other job discovery platforms, I've also pulled together the most important stuff about a job and the startup behind it, the things job seekers normally have to dig through 20+ tabs to find: who the founders are, how much they've raised, whether they have enough runway left, if good VC funds are backing them, what benefits they offer as an employer, and whether they're hiring remotely, in-office, or hybrid.
So far, about 50,000+ have already signed up and a bunch of them have left raving reviews.
Since NextDoor.Company is reaching a much wider audience from this PH launch today, I'd love to understand: What other pain points in job discovery have you run into lately that I could solve here, or improve upon?
Oh, and yes, there's a lifetime plan at 42% off for the whole week for my friends from PH. Just use the code PH42 at checkout.

@curiouskitty The freshness question is the one that decides this category, and it splits by field. Funding and valuation age slowly and are cheap to keep right. Who is actually hiring right now decays in weeks and is the field people are here for. A single "last updated" stamp on the whole record hides that, because the funding row being three days old says nothing about whether the role is still open. Per field timestamps are ugly in a UI and they are the only honest version, and they also let you charge confidently for the parts that are genuinely current.
NextDoor.Company
@curiouskitty yes, so the prodcut gathers all the information across the web, stitches them together, and does another pass on the accuracy of the data. And then it adds the data in every company.
The app right now just checks for funding/valuation changes every few months because funding valuation data doesn't really change every week.

The idea is amazing, but the paywall is too aggressive. I can't really see the value before paying, and there's no easy way to delete my account and personal data (or at least I couldn't find one).
NextDoor.Company
@lambertlcdb Just expanded the # of companies that get unlocked in freemium. If you want, I'll reset your data so you can see more of the companies & then decide.
(and goes without saying, if you still want to delete your account, let me know. Unfortunately, don't have the ability to delete directly on frontend but will remove data from backend if you still want it)

@kn0wn I thought & played with this idea for a few weeks early this year - problem was once user saw stuff around them, they never converted. It ended up "giving away product" for free. Being a solopreneur & bootstrapping this, couldn't make it work so reverted.
@kn0wn @sankalpdomore Love the concept, but just an idea.
As a platform you want to optimize supply and demand. I think right now you want to onboard as much talent + enterprises on the platform as possible. That makes you valuable.
Hence, maybe you can consider a value based model. Start-ups pay a connection fee upon a successful hire?
NextDoor.Company
@kn0wn @wouroc might do it later. Current focus is to deliver value to job-seekers.
Excellent work @sankalpdomore
I have one suggestion - it would be great to open the map with all the jobs in the area from where the request is made (ip-based). I tried it multiple times, including incognito, and it opened twice in SF and thrice in Bangalore (where I'm based out of). Otherwise, truly exceptional work!
NextDoor.Company
@seomaxtech yes, the IP thing is a bit buggy. Will fix it this week. Don't want to screw up launch day.
Thank you for checking out the product Soumya 🙏

Map based discovery of jobs as a paradigm is very interesting. I can see this extending to internships and blue collar jobs as well. Good luck!
NextDoor.Company
@sia_steel yes and yes. Will continue to focus on startups for now and then if the demand is there, will extend to internships & blue collar.
I go where my users takes me :D
Thank you for checking out the product!
Love the whole app experience. Information about companies are spot on, exactly what I'd want to see and first glance. Definitely found some companies that I've not heard of before or found their job postings on LinkedIn. The app experience feels super clean. 🤌🏻
NextDoor.Company
@prajwal_varma honey to my ears 🥹
Curious to know what would improve further. Let me know here or on DMs. No rush.

Your launch video caught my attention, but your product got me exploring longer than I should've. I kept discovering startups I hadn't come across before. I love the map first approach, and the extra company intelligence is a really nice touch. Good luck with the launch!

@kaavya_prasad this is the best comment today. Love it when users tell me that they got lost in the product because of the open world discoverability on map. Reminds me all the sleepless nights I've spent perfecting the design of this.
Thank you for checkout out my product Kaavya. Means a lot!
