Why we're building this
1
Peerakeet started after countless bus rides, clinic shifts, and late-night calls where we realized students needed a softer entry point to help.
2
We build alongside people living with recovery every day and the organizations that support them, so the product evolves with real needs.
3
Our promise is simple: technology should feel human, keep people safe, and meet them exactly where they are.
Our shared belief
Support shouldn't be locked behind stigma, cost, or credentials.
Human connection can be healing.
Tech should meet people where they are, not where the system thinks they should be.
We're not building this from the outside looking in. We're building it as people who understand this and who've been there and who know that recovery, support, or change looks different for everyone.
Whether you're using, in recovery, supporting someone you love, or just trying to understand, you deserve a space where your story is safe and where your growth is yours.
That's what Peerakeet is for.
And it wouldn't be possible without your insight, honesty, and belief in something better.
Thanks for being here.
We can't wait to show you what's next.
With care,
Peerakeet Team
