Fundraising & grants in Oakland

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.

Oakland has always run on word of mouth, and Peachy is built for exactly that. Say you're looking in Oakland and posts from people across the town reach you, from Temescal to Fruitvale to the Lake. Say how far you'll travel and the rest of the East Bay comes with it.

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.
