Industry biggie meets local startup. Next Door™ is born.
OK, we admit it, "Financial Coaching" might not sound super-exciting at first. For most of us, money comes in, goes out and that's that. But honestly, that's not enough. Life moves so fast—Rent! Debt! Cars! Kids!—we need to slow down and make a plan.
That's where Next Door comes in.
A couple years ago, we were sitting around the State Farm® office—you know, the SF that's been in the protecting-your-stuff biz since 1922—and we had a revelation. What if we didn't have to face the scary idea of planning our futures alone, scavenging for info online? What if we talked and worked together in new, collaborative ways and figured things out?
Yeah, what if...
So we started imagining a community space where anyone could ask questions about finances and insurance and get some answers. A spot to hang out, take classes, talk with Financial Coaches and fuel up on great local coffee. Oh, yeah, and everything would be free (except the coffee).
Free? Really.
Yes, because we're experimenting. We really wanna learn what people really want. Then, we'll shoot those wants back to the Farm. We help you. You help us innovate. We're all smarter for it. We think it's a win-win.For now, there's only one Next Door, right here in Chicago. Drop by next time you're in the neighborhood, neighbor.
