Peter Nieh

Co-Founder and Partner, Lightspeed Venture Partners

About

Peter Nieh co-founded Lightspeed after working at General Magic on early handheld communication devices that came before smartphones, and he connects that experience to his focus on backing technology disruptions that create entirely new categories. He has an unusual public connection to Ultimate Frisbee, personally championing Lightspeed's sponsorship of elite Ultimate teams and discussing how the sport's strategic and team-oriented nature reflects his approach to working with entrepreneurs.
