About NearFin

NearFin is hyper-local news + events coverage for New Jersey towns. We started because nationwide news doesn't tell you about your school board meeting, your local restaurant week, or the new park opening down the street.

What we cover

News and events for ~10 NJ towns (Princeton, Trenton, Hoboken, Jersey City, and more) and Rutgers University.

Who's behind it

NearFin is built by a small team — currently one founder. Editorial work is human-authored, with AI drafts as a starting point. Everything that publishes gets a human review.

What's next

More towns. User accounts (so you can follow specific places). Native iOS app. A community forum. Local event ticketing.
