Welcome

You’ve found the online home of Peter Berg.

I am a Managing Partner at M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund. I invest in, advise and help build startups, with a particular focus on fintech, payments and B2B SaaS.

Previously, I led business development and strategy for Very Good Security. During my time there 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, plus 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.
