Nextdoor — the popular neighborhood social network app available in 10 countries (spanning 236,000 neighborhoods) has raised $123 million in funding led by Riverwood Capital, with participation from existing investors Kleiner Perkins, Tiger Global, and Benchmark. An unspecified “large global asset manager” also participated in this round according to Nextdoor’s statement.

The company was valued at $2.1 billion with this round, up from $1.1 billion in 2015. Riverwood Capital founder Chris Varelas is joining Nextdoor’s board as part of terms of its investment. Nextdoor is notably led by Sarah Friar, the former CFO of payments giant Square and also board member at Walmart and Slack. Friar departed Square October last year to take the reins at Nextdoor.
