It was through that struggle that she realized there was a need in the market... a tool that could help connect landlords and small business owners. Less than a year later Peer Brands was born. What does the company do? Peer Brands is basically like AirBnb, matching small business owners with commercial kitchen space. And it's helping launch a new generation of food service businesses.
