  1. Toronto is known for being a “cold” city where people in condos can live next to each other for years and not speak one word to each other.

  2. To help build trust and friendship between people who live in multi-dwelling buildings and between those people and local businesses To build close-knit, socially involved neighbourhoods

  3. An online platform for residents of a building to give and get help from each other based on their skills and knowledge A space for local businesses to support residents by offering products and promotions

  4. Here is what people are saying. “A lot of people actually work together but don’t know they live in the same building.” “Condominiums have tried to arrange potlucks and socials, but they either don’t work or people don’t talk to each other after the event.” “An online system gives us the opportunity to meet each other on our own schedule, and based on something common that is relevant to us.” “I’m trained in first aid. If there was an emergency, I would want my neighbours to know that I’m here in the building and able to help.”

  5. Given the opportunity, 56% of local businesses would offer additional promotions and sponsorship to local residents.

  6. Johana has been living in her Toronto condo for two years and just signed up to Sugarhood. Johana just bought a new entertainment system, but doesn’t know how to set it up. What can she do?

  7. Neel has also been living in the same condo building for two year and has signed up on Sugarhood. After signing up, Neel tags that he has the skill to set up home theatres, help with IKEA furniture assembly and perform emergency beauty makeovers.

  8. Because Johana signed up on Sugarhoodshe can get help from a neighbour in the building.

  9. Johana can ask “How to set up a home theatre?” Sugarhood will provide Johana with profiles of neighbours in her building that have the skill set to set up home theatres.

  10. Johana sees that Neel can help her. She sends Neel a quick message to provide details of what she’s looking for.

  11. Neel is notified that Johana needs his help, answers her request and sets up a time.

  12. Because Neel helped out Johana, he receives one “sugar cube” credit which helps him work towards his goal of a free coffee.

  13. Isn’t there something already out there like this?

  14. Built on a service-exchange model where residents help each other and grow closer together in their immediate neighbourhoods • Proprietary “sugar cubes” credit system – earn credit to receive help by helping others • By helping others, residents are given incentives to obtain rewards from local businesses So how is Sugarhood unique?

  15. You need someone to help you connect a new home theatre system • You need some help assembling a piece of IKEA furniture • You need someone to walk your dog because you’re sick Examples
