General Partner, Gaingels

About

Peter Steinberg is a Managing Partner at Gaingels who brings 20+ years of hands-on product development experience from AOL, Zagat, Meetup, and Food52, where he served roles from product leader to interim CTO, making him unusually product-centric for a VC partner. After co-creating some of the world's first online personal ads at AOL and intentionally stepping away from operating roles to spend time home with his kids, he now invests $200-500K checks in AI, biotech, and fintech startups while serving as a startup Swiss Army knife who founders can plug into across product strategy, UX, and go-to-market beyond just capital.
