Why We Built RealPeer
Real human connection over scripted advice
"When you’re standing at a crossroads—whether you're moving to British Columbia, changing careers, or launching a new chapter—generic advice from online forums just doesn't cut it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is RealPeer, and who are the hosts?
What is RealPeer, and who are the hosts?
RealPeer is a community platform connecting people navigating major life transitions—like moving to B.C. or pivoting careers—with vetted local hosts who have already walked that path. Hosts are everyday locals and professionals sharing authentic, lived experience over 1-on-1 chats, drop-in coffee tables, and 4-week series cohorts.
Is this a costly coaching or mentorship program?
Is this a costly coaching or mentorship program?
Not at all. RealPeer is built around accessible peer support, not high-priced executive coaching. During our founding pilot phase, early access is free to join, with a flat $29/month founding rate locked in for life when our full membership rolls out.
Do I have to hop on camera right away?
Do I have to hop on camera right away?
No pressure! While video and in-person coffee huddles offer the richest connection, you can start by joining group Coffee Tables or connecting via chat as you settle in and get comfortable with the community.
Is RealPeer a substitute for therapy or professional coaching?
