Founding Partner at Ada Ventures

Speaker

Matt co-founded Ada with Check in 2018. Before Ada, Matt worked as an investor in PE and VC firms in London and New York since 2002. Matt loves the earliest stages of a company’s life and has a particular focus on founder coaching and helping others to realise their full potential. You want Matt on your cap table if you want a VC partner that doesn’t sweat the small stuff and is there for you over the long and bumpy journey of growing a meaningful business.

Outside of work, Matt loves to run and has completed more than 25 marathons and ultramarathons all around the world. He also gives time selectively in the not-for-profit world. Currently, he serves the MCC Finance Committee, Durham University Venture Labs, The Entrepreneurial Refugees Network, and Verve Cliquot’s Bold Women Awards in this way.
