Entrepreneurship in Berkeley

Freelancers, indie makers, and shop owners trading what actually works: pricing, first customers, the month it finally clicked.

Making a living on your own terms comes with questions your salaried friends can't answer. On Peachy, the freelancer who finally raised her rates and the shop owner who cracked slow Tuesdays write down how, and their posts find the people who need them.

Berkeley packs a remarkable number of scenes into a few square miles. Tell Peachy you're looking in Berkeley and posts from people nearby surface for you, whether they're up in the hills, down by the marina, or a few blocks off Shattuck. The rest of the East Bay is one "a little farther" away.

Say it in your own words

You describe what you’re looking for the way you’d tell a friend, and your Feed shows the posts from your friends, mutuals and communities that match.

“Surface revenue milestones and how people hit them.”

“Tell me when someone asks about pricing freelance work. I've been through it.”

“Show me people running one-person businesses in Berkeley.”

How it works

  1. Join in a minute

    Sign up with your phone number. Peachy is a chat app: your people, your group chats and your communities.

  2. Filter it, if you like

    Your Feed starts as everything, newest first. Turn on a paragraph filter, a few plain words like the examples above, place included, and only matching posts show. Turn it off any time.

  3. See what matters to you

    Your Feed shows posts from your friends, mutuals and communities: all of them, or only the ones that match your paragraph. Public posts from everyone else stay under Public, and your private chats are never part of it.
