Connor Peters is the founder of Locke, a Rochester-based cybersecurity company building a seamless identity layer for the Internet. Driven by the conviction that Western NY has unrealized economic and cultural potential, Connor is dedicated to bringing wealth to the region. He graduated summa cum laude from SUNY Brockport and grew up in Geneseo NY.
Aside from Locke, Connor is exploring the viability of the Genesee River Transit system, founded digital design firm Mainsail Studio, and navigated the music industry by securing a record deal with Columbia Records for artist Carson James Argenna. Outside of building companies Connor is a marathon and ultramarathon runner, applying the same endurance and discipline to his athletic pursuits as he does to supporting Upstate New York’s founders.
