TO YOUR SUCCESS
Hi, we’re Peter and Amro—and we care about one thing: bringing your vision to life.
Peter Korbel
“We pursue our client’s work knowing it’s not only about business—it’s their dream, legacy and livelihood at stake. All investor conversations start with a pitch deck, and we are experts at crafting a first great impression that turns into lifelong partnerships.”
Peter is a seasoned business consultant and tech founder with 15+ years of diverse startup experience. With a creative, relentless, and forward-thinking approach, he brings a proven track record of taking ideas from the conceptual stage to fully operating businesses with one exit under his belt! Known to ruthlessly execute, Peter has been involved in various of his own ventures, including the first food-truck operation in the nation’s capital, one of the first on-demand luggage storage businesses in the world as well as starting Blender Workspace—a state-of-the-art co-working space in New York City for high caliber entrepreneurs.
His ability to rapidly assess, strategize, and formulate investor-facing material from limited information is uncanny and highly valued by his clients. With a process-driven, yet adaptable approach, Peter blends his vast experience with industry know-how and a prolific network that comes from being in the epicenter of Manhattan’s entrepreneurial scene and now the San Francisco Bay Area. Peter earned his undergraduate degree from Columbia University and MBA from The George Washington University and proudly calls New York City home. During his downtime, he can be found with his wife walking his two King Charles around the neighborhood in Sausalito.
