Our take
The growth rate of event and party space rentals is growing exponentially along with the everlasting need for exciting locations for film & TV productions. Peerspace is a marketplace for users to explore venues for both meeting and production needs. Likened to the Airbnb for hourly renting venues, the company has had around 3 million people bring their visions to life via Peerspace locations around the globe since founding in 2014.
Growing rapidly from the get go, Peerspace made its mission to find interesting spaces to market via it's site to encourage traffic from a certain demographic of creatives. The company’s 2023 rebrand has aligned the aesthetic of the company with its users. Fashion shoots, music videos and film shoots among other events like birthday parties are some of the exciting happenings inside the venues that Peerspace host on its site.
The company now stands as a leader in its market offering subscriptions like PeerspacePro which connects its agency partners to provide production crews with exclusive rentals and scouting support. The company’s customer base of Disney , Netflix and Vogue are just a few of the household names to use the service. We’re excited to see how the company continues to sift out the most exciting locations around the world and scale its endeavours.
