Startups in Berkeley

Founders trading real numbers and real setbacks. When one near you suggests coffee, you hear about it first.

Founding is a string of problems nobody around you has had, unless you find the people who have. A founder two stages ahead posts the churn numbers behind their good quarter, another suggests coffee ten minutes from you, and both land in front of you because you said you're building.

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 early-stage founder posts with real numbers in them.”

“Tell me when a founder near Berkeley suggests a coffee or coworking day.”

“Honest setbacks over launch hype, that's my kind of thread.”

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.
