Local businesses
A page for every shop, bar and workshop in town — claimed and run by its owner.
The idea
A whole ecosystem for better connection
Not another feed, and not another directory. One place where the parts of a city that already depend on each other can finally reach each other.
See what is insideA new way to connect locally. A city is not a market to enter — it is a place, and the people in it already know each other.
The vision
The smartest cities aren't the most technological.
They're the most connected.
A city is its streets, its shops, its clubs and its neighbours. Most "smart city" projects begin with sensors and dashboards. We begin with the people, and the connections between them — and let technology do the one thing it is good at: making those connections effortless.

Every city
One platform.
Every city.
Each city runs its own app, with its own communities, businesses and rules — all on one network, so anything built for one city is ready for the next.

The opportunity
The civic economy is missing its local layer
For two decades the internet pulled local economies into global marketplaces. City App gives them a home again — infrastructure that a city runs for itself.
A market of 8,000+ cities
Spain alone has more than 8,000 municipalities, each with its own businesses, communities and rules — and nearly all of them underserved by the platforms built for capital cities.
Local commerce is being hollowed out
Global platforms take the transaction but not the place. A city loses the link between a purchase and the street it happens on — and with it, part of its tax base, its jobs and its identity.
Infrastructure the city owns
Each city runs its own app on one shared platform, with its own communities, businesses and rules. Anything built for one city is ready for the next.
How City App earns
The model is aligned with the city's growth. Businesses get the tools to reach the neighbours who already shop there, and the platform takes a small share of the local transactions it enables. When the local economy grows, City App grows with it.
Why it compounds
Local connection is the base of the economy
Cities do not grow from the top down. They compound — neighbour by neighbour, shop by shop, community by community.

The team
Built by people who believe a city is its people
A small team with deep roots in the places we build for — and the patience to go one city at a time.
Jack de la Figuera
Co-founder & CEO
At 18, Jack came up with the idea of a local connection that weaves a city's utilities and its social media into one shared network. A visionary and a risk-taker, he is the action-taker who turns the idea into momentum.
Tom de la Figuera
Co-founder & CFA
At 22, Tom is the decision-evaluator behind the platform — owning finance and legal, and thinking short-term to keep every move sharp, measured and accountable.
