About

Building runs in Pete's family. His great-great-grandfather patented a precision rifle-barrel machining process in 1942, and his great-grandfather held the patent behind the Foley catheter, still one of the most widely used medical devices in the world. Pete carries that line into venture as an investor and former founder. He previously founded and bootstrapped a software company serving utilities and emergency response agencies through to acquisition, and earlier held engineering roles at Raytheon and Northrop Grumman. He co-founded the San Diego chapter of Post-Exit Founders, a global community of several thousand exited founders.
