Nextdoor Opens Dallas Office, Plans to Grow DFW Team Substantially in 2026

Dallas Is Already Home to Nextdoor's CEO and CFO and More Than 8,000 Neighborhoods Across DFW use Nextdoor

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nextdoor, the essential neighborhood network, today announced the official opening of its Dallas office. This is the fifth US-based office location for Nextdoor joining SF, NYC, LA, and Chicago. This establishes the company's first hub in Texas, a strategic expansion anchored by executive leadership already rooted in the city. With 15 employees on day one and plans to grow to 30-40 team members by summer 2026, Dallas marks a meaningful new chapter for how Nextdoor scales its talent and community impact.

Nirav Tolia co-founded Nextdoor in 2011, rooted in a belief shaped by his upbringing in Odessa, Texas: that our neighborhoods are one of the most important communities in our lives. In 2021, he relocated his family to Dallas, embedding himself in the city's civic, entrepreneurial life, and family life. He and his wife Megha Tolia serve as co-founding Directors of the William S. Spears Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership at SMU's Cox School of Business, and Tolia recently joined the board of the Economic Club of Dallas.

“Dallas isn’t just a place we’re opening an office – it’s a city I call home,” said Tolia. “The talent here is exceptional, the community is vibrant, and this city embodies exactly what Nextdoor stands for: neighbors investing in where they live. We’re committed to building a long term visible presence in our incredible city.”

Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the fastest-growing metros in the country, home to millions of residents across hundreds of distinct, fast-growing communities – and more than 8,000 neighborhoods across the DFW area use Nextdoor. For a company built around neighbors, few markets present a more natural fit.

Nextdoor CFO Indrajit Ponnambalam, also Dallas-based, adds organizational leadership to the hub alongside team members already rooted in the city across Operations, Finance, Human Resources, and Engineering.

“From a business standpoint, Dallas is one of the smartest bets we can make,” said Ponnambalam. “We get access to talent across engineering, product, and corporate functions in a market that's growing faster than almost anywhere else in the country – one where we want to hire and where Nextdoor is already an integral part of local communities.”

Nextdoor is currently operating out of The Stack in Deep Ellum (2700 Commerce St.) and is actively securing a permanent location in Uptown Dallas. The company expects the Dallas office to become a multi-functional hub, with a particular emphasis on engineering talent as it scales.

Open roles for the Dallas office will be posted at about.nextdoor.com/careers.
