You’ve found the online home of Peter Berg.

I am currently working on something new in agentic commerce, while also investing with Communitas Capital, an early-stage fund founded by the former CEOs of NYSE, Thomson Reuters and Instinet. 

Until recently, I was a Managing Partner at M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund, leading a team focused on applied AI in Fintech, Retail, Commerce and B2B software. 

Previously, I led business development and strategy for Very Good Security, a global leader in payments tokenization powering commerce experiences for companies including McDonald’s, Starbucks, Robinhood, Brex and leading agentic payments startups.  During my time at VGS we grew revenue over 20x and I helped bring in Goldman Sachs and Visa, Inc. as strategic partners and investors.

Before that, I built and led Visa Ventures, the corporate VC arm of Visa, Inc., where I invested in companies like Square, Stripe, Marqeta, Chain (now Interstellar), LoopPay (now SamsungPay), and many others. Before Visa I spent many years building software and fintech companies, including an exit to JPMorgan Chase, and a brief stint in consumer products at Joby.

I love helping entrepreneurs and startups any way I can, including via advisory roles, independent board seats and/or angel investment. I’m also available for occasional consulting or speaking engagements.
