Investment thesis
Matchstick Ventures focuses on pre-seed and seed stage startups built outside the traditional coastal tech hubs, believing great companies can be built anywhere. Founded by former entrepreneurs who started, scaled, and exited their own companies, the firm emphasizes a founder-first, relationship-driven approach, building deep and enduring relationships with the founders it backs. It contributes not only capital but also its experience and network to help founders realize their ambitions. Since 2015 the firm has invested in over 100 companies that have collectively gone on to raise billions.
