Minivillage - Creating Community In A Lonely City


Vancouver Campus | 11:00am–2:00pm

We are Minivillage, a social purpose tech startup based in UBC supporting connectedness and run by UBC alumni. Our team has been working hard for years designing and building a digital community centre just for the campus community.

Our mission is to empower neighbours to create meaningful connections, share skills and trade in local networks. We’re passionate about wellbeing and  building closer communities and with Minivillage you’ll be able to:

1)  Discover like minded friends and meet ups in your building.

2)  Find local services and utilise the hidden skills of your neighbours e.g. the guy down your corridor might be a budding hairdresser or there may be a yoga teacher in the apartment just above you!

3)  Use your skills and talents to serve your community (and make money too!)  e.g. selling baked goods to your neighbours or offering tutoring services.

Thank you so much for coming to our booth and making your building a better place.
