Our story

About PeaPool

PeaPool helps people find company for the things they'd rather not do alone: a run, a ride, a game, a coffee. This is who it's for, what it does and doesn't do, and who is behind it.

Who PeaPool is for

Anyone 18 or over who has a plan with room for others, or who'd like to join someone else's.

PeaPool is open in Nigeria. A host posts what they're doing, when and where. People near them find it, ask to join, and the host says who comes. Some plans share a cost, like fuel for a ride or a court booking. Most are simply better with company.

Four men, most of them older, share high fives in a sports hall, rackets in hand.

What PeaPool does, and doesn't

A place to find each other. Everything after that is between you.

PeaPool does

Lists plans anyone can browse, with no account needed to look.
Lets you ask to join, and lets the host say yes or no.
Counts places as people join and drop out, so the last one is never promised twice.
Shows phone numbers, payment details and the exact meeting point only to people with a confirmed place, and the meeting point to a safety contact a member chooses to share a meetup with.
Keeps track of a cost the host asked for: whether the guest says they've sent it, and whether the host says it arrived.

PeaPool doesn't

Hold, move or take money. It isn't a payment service, and it is never part of a payment.
Charge you. Joining, posting and asking to join are free.
Check anyone's identity. A verified email shows that someone owns that address, and nothing more.
Choose who you meet, or come along. Hosts decide who joins, and everyone decides who to meet.
Sell your personal data or show you advertising.

Money is tracked, never taken

PeaPool never holds or moves money. If a plan has a cost, the host says what it is before anyone asks to join, and the guest pays the host directly, however they both like. The host's payment details show only once a place is confirmed.

I've sent it

The guest's word that they have paid. It settles nothing on its own.

Mark received

Only the host can see their own account, so only the host's mark settles it.

Safety, and who it's for

Nothing makes meeting new people risk-free, and we won't pretend otherwise. This is what PeaPool does about it, today.

18+

Adults only

New members confirm they're 18 or over when they join, and anyone who joins with an emailed link is asked before they can use their account. We don't check ID, so it is their word. If you think someone is under 18, report them.

The host says who comes
Every place is asked for and agreed. Nobody turns up to a plan the host didn't say yes to.
Details stay private until you're in
Phone numbers, payment details and the exact meeting point show only to people with a confirmed place, and to a safety contact a member chooses to share their meetup with. Before that, a map shows the rough area.
Messages need a reason
You can write to the host of a plan, and hosts can write to people who asked to join. There's no messaging strangers out of the blue.
Block and report
Blocking hides you from each other and cancels anything you'd arranged together. Reports go to our moderators.
Ratings from people who were there
Once a plan has happened, the host and the people who went can rate each other. Nobody else can.
Profiles with a few words
People can add a short bio. New members confirm they're 18 or over when they join.
Verified email, if you want it
See who has verified their email address, and keep a plan to people who have. It shows they own that address, and nothing more.
Tell someone where you'll be
Add a safety contact, and share a meetup with them: where and when, and who you're meeting.
