GetSociable
Peter leads GetSociable, a tech platform designed to help people build real‑world connections through events, shared interests, and community‑driven experiences. Using smart data, the mobile app makes it easier for people to find their crowd and feel part of a community. The company has been backed by several innovation grants, including funding from Innovate UK and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
He works closely with venues, event organisers, and hospitality/nightlife teams to promote responsible socialising, and by carrying out voluntary roles, is a strong supporter of initiatives that protect vulnerable individuals and creates welcoming spaces for everyone.
GetSociable also partners with several UK universities, offering placements and project roles, including welcoming students through the Employ Autism Programme and supporting those from underrepresented backgrounds. Through this they receive hands‑on experience in tech, and real‑world problem‑solving.
