Discovering a golden opportunity 💡

The idea for Peek came to Bashir while she was planning a birthday trip to Istanbul with her friends. They found themselves spending 20 hours searching for fun experiences, reading reviews, and making bookings, which proved to be a significant hassle. Recognizing the need for a convenient platform that could serve as a one-stop solution for booking travel and experiences, she decided to take matters into their own hands and build Peek.

Founders, if that isn’t the perfect founding story, I don’t know what it is 😅 .

Welcome to Peek Marketplace 🏪

With Peek, you can search for activities and experiences based on your destination, dates, and interests. The website features a wide range of options, including sightseeing tours, outdoor adventures, food and wine experiences, spa and wellness activities, and much more.

How profitable is Peek 💵 ?

Peek turned profitable when the world was most down, the pandemic. Their annual revenue is $105 Million and they’ve booked over $2B so far. Their customer base is over 35 million customers.

What is the growth potential of this business 🌎?

With the travel business booming and companies like AirBnB doing $8B in revenue a year, Peek is in prime position to grow. They’re still raising serious money and this is boosting their growth by a lot.
