Be a Bird
Hummingbirds are rooted in the belief that to build strong, local communities, every person should be connected and contributing to the economic success of our startups, storefronts, nonprofits and solo entrepreneurs.
We believe real, everyday people are the key to weaving a tight safety net around the sustained success of our cities. Hummingbirds are a revolutionary solution to bring us all together, using our voices in unison to create change.
Is This You?
Do you spend Saturdays searching for new businesses to fall in love with?
Do your friends ask you for restaurant suggestions in your city?
Are you the go-to in your circle for where visitors should shop when they’re in town?
Then you will love being a hummingbird.


How It Works
Hummingbirds experience and engage with awesome local brands (for free!) then share their thoughts and experiences on social media. Your voice becomes the platform on which local brands can grow and reach more people.
Not Your Traditional Influencer
This is like influencer marketing, but better. Hummingbirds are everyday people who love supporting their local community by sharing genuine experiences on social media.
Our perks include free tickets to local events, 10-pack passes to cycling studios, gift cards, free food + drinks, and more!
