Summary

Peerlist is a professional network that prioritizes technical skills and experience over credentials, where users can showcase their work across various platforms on a single page. Founded by Yogini Bende and her cofounder during the pandemic as a side project, Peerlist has gained significant traction with 600-700 users on its waitlist within months of launching, and has attracted angel investors, CTOs of startups and unicorns, and job posters. The platform has improved significantly since moving to Railway, reducing costs by over 80% while scaling user growth tenfold. With a stable release planned for March, Peerlist is introducing new features such as direct messages and an inbox, and plans to expand its hiring module and introduce a team profile feature. Users can sign up on the website `Peerlist.io` to create an account and explore more information about the platform.
