Description

Cofounder and CEO of Nextdoor, Nirav Tolia, looks back on his childhood in small-town Texas, and how an inner conflict about belonging may have led to him creating the first social network for neighbors. With his commitment to building community, it’s no surprise two of his seven songs include the words ‘home’ and ‘house’ in their titles.



  1. Take me Home, Country Roads – John Denver

  2. The Reflex –  Duran Duran

  3. World in My Eyes –  Depeche Mode

  4. Eye of the Tiger – Survivor

  5. If My Heart Was a House – Owl City

  6. Con Te Partirò – Andrea Bocelli

  7. Beautiful Day – U2
