About Peter

Peter co-founded Lux Capital with the idea that in order to have the biggest impact on the future, one should support the most scientifically and technologically ambitious ventures. His goal: to seek out founders developing things most people thought would not work, yet if they did, would become so intrinsic to our way of life that we would someday take them for granted.

Today Lux supports a wide range of once-impossible-sounding advancements, including 3D printing and imaging, nuclear waste cleanup, machine learning and robots that fly or conduct microsurgery.

Imitation is suicide. –Ralph Waldo Emerson

Peter led Lux’s investments in Auris Health (acquired by Johnson & Johnson for up to $6 billion, making it one of top 10 VC-backed private M&A transactions of all-time), Everspin Technologies (NASDAQ: MRAM), Lux Research (acquired by Bregal Sagemount), Luxtera (acquired by Cisco), Matterport (NASDAQ: MTTR), SiBEAM (acquired by Silicon Image), Transphorm (acquired by Renesas), and Vium (acquired by Recursion). Peter launched the firm’s Lux Health + Tech investment strategy, including the Nasdaq Lux Health Tech Index (NASDAQ: NQHTEC) and helped launch the First Trust Nasdaq Lux Digital Health Solutions ETF (NASDAQ: EKG). Current investments include Adimab, Altir, Basic Capital, Bright Machines, Carbon Health, eGenesis, Flex Logix, Ingenuity, Mendaera, Perchwell, Ripcord, Thematic, and Vosbor. In 2003, Peter led the spin-off of Lux Research. As its founding CEO, he helped build Lux Research into the leading emerging-technology research firm. In 2021, he co-founded Thematic as a next generation index and ETF developer and today serves as its Chairman.

Peter began his career at Lehman Brothers, where he worked in the firm’s top-ranked Equity Research group. He was a Chancellor’s Scholar and graduated cum laude from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School, and was the Founding President of its first venture organization, Future Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs. He has been a guest on CNBC and Bloomberg TV, and speaker at Columbia, Cornell, MIT, Stanford, Yale, and the National Science Foundation. Peter believes that all young people should have an opportunity to thrive and today serves on the board of the Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula (BGCP).
