Summary
Peter Deng is a seasoned product and investor leader who has built and scaled consumer products across AI and mobile platforms, now serving as General Partner at Felicis after leadership roles at OpenAI, Airtable, Uber, Instagram, Facebook, and Oculus. He brings nine years of hands-on experience translating complex technical capabilities into widely adopted products—most recently shaping consumer strategy as VP of Consumer Product at OpenAI. Equally comfortable in boardrooms and product sprints, he advises and boards startups like Paraform while chairing the board of an educational nonprofit.
