Peter is a Senior Associate at Illuminate, where he partners with founders building category defining AI applications and infrastructure companies across North America.

With experience across operating roles, entrepreneurship, and venture, Peter brings a full stack perspective to company building. He has supported startups through rapid scaling, guided a Series A company through the journey to IPO, and advised teams navigating both buy and sell side M&A.

Previously, Peter was at Rhino Ventures, a generalist VC firm, where he partnered with early-stage companies across B2B software, fintech, and consumer. Earlier in his career, he built his foundation as a product manager and software developer across startups, large financial institutions, and big tech.

Peter focuses on enterprise AI applications and AI infrastructure. He is particularly excited about four themes he believes will define the next generation of enduring companies: infrastructure and developer tooling, security, AI enabled services, and vertical agents with network effects.

Outside of work, you will find him shooting photography, watching F1, searching for the next great burger or pizza spot, and of course vibe coding half baked ideas.
