Frequently asked questions
How does MATR Ventures source proprietary deal flow?
MATR attributes its deal flow to a curated network of more than 150 advisors it calls the PowerUp Network. The firm states that nurturing meaningful engagement within this network — composed of exited founders, operators, and investors — efficiently drives its deal tonnage and quality, surfacing opportunities beyond where large VC firms are active.
Who runs investment decisions at MATR Ventures?
MATR publicizes its investment committee as comprising investors, exited founders, engineers, and operators, but it has not disclosed named individuals or biographies on its website. The committee includes specialized roles in AI/ML, cloud AI and semiconductor edge technology, data privacy, institutional investing, and fund operations, all drawn from the extended PowerUp Network.
