Remembering Peter Cowley

November 19, 2024

We were incredibly sad to learn of Peter Cowley’s passing on the 16th November. As our friend, mentor, colleague, cofounder and inspiration, he leaves behind a huge void and we will miss him greatly.

His impact on us all will not be forgotten and his legacy will live on. He was a titan of the Cambridge technology ecosystem and the wider global angel investment community, receiving recognition across the world.

Peter was the ‘Invested Investor’. A serial entrepreneur himself who was passionate about advising, mentoring, supporting and investing in other entrepreneurs. But above all, he was passionate about helping people. Peter gave a part of himself to so many. He touched countless lives in ways big and small, always willing to share his perspective and experience for the benefit of others.

He was relentless, searingly honest and open, highly courageous, had a brain the size of a planet, matched in size by his kind and caring heart.

As Cofounder of Martlet, Peter was instrumental in our existence, building out our presence, people and portfolio. For that and all his other contributions to life, we say thank you.

It was truly a privilege to have known him.

Our condolences to the family; Lies, Matt, Catherine and Miri, and all his friends, colleagues and those impacted by him.
