Soft launched on March 22 2020, by tech entrepreneur Nigel Teo and a team of 3 others, GoodHood now has more than 6000 users. Called the “Neighborhood Everyday App”, about 80 per cent to 90 per cent of the posts on the app are from people offering help, ranging from buying groceries and dog walking, to offering cooked meals, he says. The rest are from people seeking help.
In this interview, we talk about the inspiration behind the app, its impact especially during the COVID-19 crisis and Nigel’s view on TechforGood.
