Fundraising & grants in Berkeley

Fundraising knowledge expires fast. Get terms, timing, and investor intel from founders mid-raise or a week past the close.

What's standard this year, which investors actually move, how long a seed process really takes: none of it keeps. The founder who signed a term sheet last Tuesday is posting what surprised them. Tell Peachy you're raising and you read it the same night.

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.

“Show me posts from founders mid-raise or just closed.”

“Tell me when a grant for small creative projects goes up.”

“Pitch-deck teardowns and term-sheet lessons, yes please.”

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.
