Peter Kirby is a serial entrepreneur and CEO with 11 years of focused experience building AI-enabled Web3 ventures and taking blockchain products from concept to market. He founded and scaled Factom—one of the first Layer 2 blockchain projects—to a public token market cap north of $750M and later led SimpleID to rapid revenue and regulatory-compliant AI-blockchain identity solutions. Skilled at GTM, fundraising (including early ICOs and over $10M in venture rounds) and strategic partnerships, he has driven enterprise adoption across Fortune 500s and U.S. government agencies. Based in Greater Boston, he blends a scientific background (BS in Biochemistry) with an MBA and executive coaching, which informs a data-driven yet human-centered leadership style. An unexpected detail: beyond tech and finance he’s also a certified laughter yoga instructor, reflecting an emphasis on culture and unconventional team wellbeing.
