Dr. Peter C. Foller, received his Ph.D. in chemistry (with a concentration in electrochemistry) from the University of California at Berkeley in 1979. He opted to retire early from PPG Industries having served as R&D director for PPG’s (then) optical and commodity chemical businesses (including the photochromic ophthalmic lens internal start-up Transitions Optical). After a varied R&D career in the service of businesses both large and small, a couple of which he cofounded, Dr. Foller returned to his roots in the San Francisco Bay Area.
An inveterate optimist, Dr. Foller especially enjoys working with start-up teams, seeding them with ideas and/or helping with pivots. In addition to working with more experienced SF Bay Area start-ups, Dr. Foller has advised spinout teams from various major universities, in such cases helping win proposals and refining pitches.
Dr. Foller has also helped build North American representative organizations for promising technically oriented overseas small business.
A member of leading SF Bay Area networks of angel investors, Dr. Foller is also able to provide introductions to the investment community, as appropriate.
