History

Peeple was founded by Chris Chuter. In 2015, the company won $150,000 at a competition in the United Kingdom for its internet-enabled peephole. [3]

The company has been confused with Peeple, a mobile application that allows users to rate other people based on their personalities, professionalism, and dating experience. [4] In September 2015, company founder Chris Chuter told Wired that his company began receiving negative feedback from people who believed his company was behind the mobile application. [3]
