Description
Matchstick Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded by former entrepreneurs who, after starting, scaling and exiting their own companies, turned to investing to help other founders achieve their dreams. The firm focuses on pre-seed and seed stage startups, particularly those located outside the traditional coastal tech hubs, believing that great companies can be built anywhere. Since 2015, they have invested in over 100 companies that have gone on to raise billions in follow-on funding. Matchstick emphasizes deep, trusting, and enduring relationships with founders, positioning themselves as hands-on partners rather than purely capital providers, serving first-time and repeat founders across a range of industries such as SaaS, marketplaces, and technology-enabled businesses.
