Peter Terrill is a venture architect, founder, and strategic advisor based on the Gold Coast, Queensland. He is the founder and Chief Visioneer of V1 Scale, the Gold Coast's premier venture studio, working with founders in their Second Act to build institutional-grade businesses through the T2D3 scaling framework.

With over 40 years of experience across capital management, property development, and venture building, Peter brings what he calls Crystallised Intelligence — the compounding value of decades of high-stakes operational experience — to the founders and businesses he works with.

Career

Peter's career spans four decades of building, managing, and advising businesses across property development, private equity, and early-stage ventures. He has managed portfolios exceeding $300 million and has operated across Australian and international markets since 1986.

In 2016 he founded C2 Capital in Melbourne, a private equity firm focused on property development and early-stage venture investment, which by late 2019 had developed a property pipeline across seven projects with a potential gross realisable value exceeding $1.5 billion.

Melbourne's unprecedented 270 cumulative days of government-mandated COVID-19 lockdowns — the longest of any major city globally — severely disrupted the Victorian property sector. Peter formally resigned all executive directorships at C2 Capital on 1 March 2021, fifteen months before the rebranded entity entered voluntary administration under new management.

Following a period of personal commercial restructuring, Peter relocated to the Gold Coast and founded V1 Scale, bringing his operational experience to Australia's fastest-growing regional economy.

V1 Scale is built around the belief that the 40+ founder holds a structural advantage in the current economy — the combination of lived experience, established networks, and hard-won operational judgment that younger venture studios simply haven't accumulated yet.

Through V1 Scale's Geodesic Hub model — integrating legal governance via Zerix, growth execution via Blitz Marketers, and founder vitality via Peakshape — Peter works with Second Act founders to move their businesses from fragile and founder-dependent to institutional-grade and exit-ready.
