About PopOnBy
Know your city. Share your city. Live your city.
PopOnBy is a hyperlocal community platform built around one principle: the community comes first. Always.
Open the app and you see what is actually happening near you, matched to what you told us interests you. No noise. No irrelevance. Just your community, telling you what is happening, because you asked it to.
What we are
We are community infrastructure. A platform built city by city, by real people in real neighborhoods. Trust is our foundation. Community is our home.
We are not a social media app. We are not a coupon app. We do not capture your attention to sell it back to advertisers. Think of us as a digital community bulletin board that knows who you are, what you care about, and what your neighborhood needs.
Who it is for
PopOnBy is built for three kinds of people who already share the same town.
Locals who want to feel connected to their community without configuring anything. Open the app, see your town.
Organizers (clubs, nonprofits, neighborhood groups, churches, schools) who want their event to reach the people who would actually come.
Business owners who want to be discovered by their neighbors without paying a middleman to interrupt them with an ad.
Everyone enters as a member of their community. From there, you can stay a local, or step up and post.
Why we built it differently
Most apps sell your data. We match your preferences.
When a local business reaches you on PopOnBy, you already raised your hand. They reach people who asked to hear from them, not people they bought attention from.
We think a level playing field lets the actual cream rise to the top, based on what businesses deliver and how the community feels about them, not on who has the deepest marketing pockets.
A community-first organization
PopOnBy is a for-profit LLC structured to behave like a community organization. For-profit because it lets us move faster, hire better, and build the kind of product real local people actually want to use. Our aligned incentive model makes sure we are reinvesting in the community as we grow. Because the community should benefit directly from the value it has helped create.
That means no ads disguised as content, no selling your data, and dynamic pricing that matches businesses based on their needs.
Where we are
We started in central Florida.
We are growing the same way we believe trust grows. City by city, region by region. The slow way. The right way.
You cannot monopolize your way into a real community. You have to earn it from the ground-floor.
Who we are
PopOnBy is operated by Zazz Creations LLC.
A small, independent team building one community at a time, starting in our own.
