Words from our Members
Michael Kravshik, CPA, CA
CEO & Co-Founder
I’ve been a Peerscale member for three years now and there are so many benefits that it’s hard to fit it into a few sentences. So I’ll focus on what’s most important, building authentic relationships with a group of people who are going through (or have already gone through) the same challenges you are. It’s hard to quantify this value. Everything from the smallest nuisance to those ‘sky is falling’ moments, you have people who can give you real advice, support, connections, data, and much more. It’s a really special community for entrepreneurs.

The saying goes that it’s lonely at the top, and being a CEO can often be a lonely job even if you do have co-founders or a Board. Peerscale offers a network of CEOs who are dealing with similar issues and challenges in their businesses, and a way to connect with one another and talk openly in a safe environment. Having a set of non-judgemental peers to share with and learn from has been a critical part of my development as a leader.
