There is a huge opportunity to transform manufacturing, but it’s an industry that can be difficult to get traditional VCs excited about. Not Matt—his deep experience with and excitement for digital manufacturing is unique among the investor community. We feel incredibly grateful to have partnered with Matt.

Matt has been a fantastic advisor, active board member, and an energetic contributor on multiple levels to Proto Labs...as a CEO, I would strongly recommend Matt as an investor and as a board member. I’d hire him without reservations. Here’s why: Matt is 100% honest and very principled. I never doubt his integrity. You can always have confidence that Matt is telling you the truth and that he is sincere. He works hard to find ways to contribute. You will find him understated, humble, and easy to get along with.

Matt has been a terrific investor, advisor, and partner for Xometry from our Series A through our IPO. His experience and participation were instrumental to help secure our early financings. Matt energetically helped recruit A-level talent, and he’s always provided thoughtful, well-reasoned, and timely advice on critical strategic topics and decisions. Matt is a good person, with high ethical and moral standards. You would be lucky to have him on your team.
