Peter Thompson is the Cofounder and CEO of LucidLink, a San Francisco-based cloud-native file streaming platform that turns object storage into a native file system accessible from anywhere in real time. A Minnesota farm kid who spent 15 years navigating storage markets across Asia and the Americas at DataCore Software before returning to Stanford's GSB at age 48, Thompson teamed up with engineer George Dochev in 2016 to build what users still describe as 'magic.' LucidLink has since raised $120.6M in total funding including a $75M Series C led by Brighton Park Capital in 2023, grown ARR nearly 5x in two years, counts Warner Bros., Paramount, Adobe, and Shopify among its customers, and earned an Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy Award from the Television Academy.
