Peer is a tool for meeting professionals to network, learn new skills, and expand your professional world, instantly and over live video. The platform offers skills and keyword search and maps people by their distance from you to help identify matches and facilitate rapid live video introductions, without the need for scheduling. Call requests can be answered immediately or at a later stage, or simply ignored until later (most people are busy right then after all). Calls can easily be denied, and users blocked or flagged, as needed. With Peer, you are safe to access only professionals that have merit for your particular professional development needs. Entrepreneurs and professionals from the technology ecosystem are greatly encouraged to join.

At Peer we're solving the way unacquainted entrepreneurs connect with each other, shifting the dynamic from access to people based on one's limited immediate network, to a platform based on merit and skill. Live video is a platform of choice to immediately meet unacquainted professionals, to quickly discern and connect with new colleagues using both a targeted approach based on skills and background, and serendipitous - who’s online? who’s in my area or in a specific city? who wants to talk in the next 30 minutes?

Sign-in with your LinkedIn account, register, upload a pre recorded video to present who you are, or simply be there to network with other professionals in your area and around the globe.

Peer - Here everyone is an expert! We seek experts and passionate talented professionals who are experienced at what they do. If you doubt you are one, Peer is not for you.
