On Tuesday 3rd June 2020, we hosted investor extraordinaire Peter Fenton.

Peter was an early investor in Twitter, back when it had 25 employees and sat on the board until 2017. Peter's current investments include EngineYard, Lithium, New Relic, Pentaho, Polyvore, Terracotta, Yelp and Zendesk. He also sits on a number of boards including Yelp, Docker, Zuora and many more.
