WelcomeMat is a private app for a single neighborhood. Every member is verified at their home address, so there are no strangers, no scams, and no spam. A local Ambassador actually runs it. Not a group. Not a forum. A place that belongs to your community.
Private by design: your community code and your address are the key. No outsiders, no bots, no sales spam.
How it works

A licensed local Ambassador takes on your community. One person, accountable, reachable by every resident. Not a moderation queue and not a support address.
Households are already mapped. A resident enters their community code, picks their own address and is in — no approval backlog, and nobody from outside the neighborhood can get in behind them.
Posts, replies, clubs, and a resident directory people can opt out of. The Ambassador keeps it healthy day to day.
For communities
Most neighborhoods are held together by a Facebook group nobody wants to run and a management portal nobody opens.
Nobody outside the neighborhood can join, read, or post. Scammers, bots and drive-by advertisers never get past the front door, and a real Ambassador removes anything that does not belong.
Your Ambassador is a named person assigned to your community, with a WelcomeMat email address published to every resident. When something goes wrong, there is someone to contact who can actually fix it.
Membership follows the household. People who move in are welcomed; people who don't live there cannot see in.
Residents can keep themselves out of the directory, and that choice is enforced by the app rather than promised by it.

For prospective Ambassadors
We license one Ambassador per community. You own the relationships and the day-to-day. We provide the app, the community, and the agreement behind it.
We keep the detail for a conversation. If it sounds like a fit, ask and we'll walk you through the numbers.

Whether you're on a board looking for something better, a resident trying to police a failing Facebook group, or you want to become an Ambassador — start here and we'll point you to the right person.
