Peter Bell is a Partner at SSC Venture Partners. He possess expertise in entrepreneurship, venture capital, start ups, saas, business development and 12 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "My team at Credit Suisse ran venture services. We worked with virtually every VC on the East Coast. My closest mentor was also one of the three co-founders of Highland Capital, where Peter eventually worked his way up to the top role and took that firm to entirely new heights. My relationship with Peter grew outside of those contexts. Specifically, I reached out as a fellow Boston College graduate looking for advice on transitioning into a career in technology. Peter was blunt--I'd even go so far as to say he was even hard on me at times, but in tactful and necessary ways. But what grew was a real relationships where we developed trust and mutually respect for each other. He's responsible for introducing me to my current technology company and CEO, and basically was able to identify not only the best company and role for my skillset, but also the best culture for me to thrive in, managed by the best team to help me grow professionally. Peter is on a very short list of people I consult when making any major decision in my life. I take his advice to heart, and I not only listen to what he says, but apply what he recommends. It's made a tremendous difference for me personally. If you're raising money, or looking for advice, or simply hoping to speak with someone who can teach you to look at things in new a profound ways, I hope you are fortunate enough to get a little of Peter's time. I sure as hell have been so lucky myself, and I owe a lot of my continued success in Silicon Valley to the time and energy he's spend advising me and pointing me in the right directions. "
