Alex\u00a0 Norman the CEO and co-founder of mycoop technologies, describes how his proptech brings something new to the real estate tech and amenities space. \u201cI found most of the technology in the real estate space that focuses on property management really targets the large luxury complexes,\u201d says Alex Norman, \u201cActually there are none for the most part that service smaller buildings that are run by mom and pops or individuals who can be hard to reach.\u201dis a social network exclusively available to residents of a particular building.

A Social Network For City Buildings, So Neighbors Can Organize<\/h6>\n

If you live in a densely packed city and don\u2019t own a can-opener, it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll descend several flights of stairs and ask someone in the building next door if you can borrow one. You\u2019d probably just ask someone who lives in your own building, which is just one of the many reasons why Alex Norman created MyCoop (pronounced \u201cmy-koop,\u201d not \u201cco-op\u201d), a free, private social network for city buildings so residents can barter, swap services, and circulate important updates.

The building bulletin board goes virtual with mycoop<\/h6>\n

A New York City apartment building is like a big, often dysfunctional family, with some members you interact with regularly and others you suffer because you have to. No matter how large or small the clan, communication is important (these are the people with whom you share a roof and walls!), which is why the free private social network MyCoop makes a lot of sense.
