Description

This week’s guest, Matt Allen, knows Startups are hard. He knows because he has founded 4 tech startups, invested in more than 26 and advised countless others over the past 20 years. 

A couple of years ago leading VC firm Airtree recognised Matt and his wife Aprill as some of the best angel investors in Australia noting that at the time of writing they had:

• $533k invested into 26 companies
• With 58% of the active portfolio having a female founder
• And notwithstanding that 3 had gone to zero, the remainder had generated $2.6m in cash returns and $7.7m in equity value (at each company’s most recent valuation)

That means that Matt & Aprill are up ~19X so far…(!)

These days Matt is the CEO of Tractor Ventures, Australia’s first revenue based investment fund.

Matt’s goal is to connect dots and facilitate the magic that happens when great people work together.
