Subscribe for my occasional notes for founders and builders of all stripes.

I’m Matt Hackett

I invest in technology startups in a wide range of industries, from earliest concept to Series A. I also get more directly involved, embedding as a temporary member of the team at some of my companies, like Hopin (interim COO), Headway (embedded exec, CSO).

I'm a founder. I sold the company I cofounded with Casey Neistat, Beme, to CNN in 2016. I also cofounded Oda.

I’m an engineer and technical leader. I was VP Engineering at Tumblr through some of our wildest hypergrowth years.

I’m workshopping a tag line that tries to encapsulate the kinds of companies I like to invest in and what I do with my time:

I want to help good people bend technology toward utopia.

I send a newsletter time to time with my writing on technology, founders, startups, etc.
