Every neighborhood
needs a square.

Raiz is where yours meets. Speak your mind and hear your neighbors, find out what's happening nearby, and post or pick up small paid jobs a few doors down.

Coming soon to iPhone

Raiz is opening neighborhood by neighborhood.

The square for Vancouver's
neighborhoods.

Your street, in your words

Neighborhood Vibe

A local feed for the blocks around you. Say what's on your mind, and hear what your neighbors make of it. Someone posts "Water main work on Sophia Street all week, park on the far side," and it goes up on the feed for the people who park there, who can react, comment, and add what they know.

An opinion gets echoed or passed on, not argued over. Echo the ones that ring true, pass on the rest, and the count is what shows. Events live in the same feed, so the block party, the park cleanup and Thursday table tennis all turn up before they happen.

“Water main work on Sophia Street all week. Park on the far side.”Alert · Mount Pleasant
“Slower speeds on the school route would make mornings safer.”Opinion · 12 echoes · Riley Park
“Block party on the 300 block, Saturday at 2. Bring a chair and a dish.”Event · Kitsilano

Paid work, neighbor to neighbor

The Local Job Board

Small handy jobs, done by the people next door. Woodwork, repairs, odd jobs. Post yours with the pay you're offering, like $24 an hour to rebuild a back fence, and neighbors looking for work can browse the board and pick it up.

Built-in chat lets the two of you talk through the details and finalize the deal in the app. Raiz handles no money and takes no cut. Pay stays between the two of you, the way it always has on your street.

“Back fence needs three boards replaced. $24/hour, materials in the garage.”Ask · Mount Pleasant
“Bookshelf to build from a kit. $60 for the job, Saturday suits best.”Ask · Riley Park
“Twenty years of cabinet work. Happy to take on small woodwork nearby.”Offer · Kitsilano

Built on the oldest rule there is: love thy neighbor.

Raiz is built to make your street feel like a neighborhood, not to keep you scrolling.

Come as yourself

You post under your name, not a handle.

No pile-ons

Echo what rings true and skip what doesn't. There is no reply button on an opinion.

Look out for each other

Small jobs for fair pay, a few doors down.

A square you can trust

None of these are settings you have to find. They are how Raiz works.

Your address stays yours. You share a neighborhood, never a street address.
No ads. No data sales. No tracking. Your email signs you in. That's all it's for.
Your name stays inside the app. Anything published outside it carries no names.
Verified without being tracked. One location check, and the coordinates are never stored.
Report anything that doesn't belong. Reporting is one tap from every post, listing, event, and chat.
Block a neighbor, both ways. Block someone and the two of you disappear from each other across Raiz.

About Raiz

Raiz ("Raiz: Neighborhood Vibe") is built and operated by People Ventures Inc., an independent British Columbia company in Metro Vancouver, Canada.

We're starting where we live: Vancouver, one local area at a time. The people closest to a problem are usually the last ones asked, and Raiz is a way to ask them.

Testing now on iPhone and Android, and coming to the App Store. We're opening Raiz neighborhood by neighborhood, by invitation, so every square starts with people who actually live there.

There's a spot in the square for you.

Raiz is new. The first neighbors in each area get to shape it.
