Work

I structure capital, build investor partnerships, and develop growth strategy for real asset backed businesses. My work spans both debt and equity, with a focus on disciplined underwriting and long term alignment.

By the Numbers

$800M+ in equity capital raised across PE real estate strategies. 200+ active investor relationships spanning family offices, UHNW individuals, RIAs, and institutional allocators. 10+ years of progressive capital formation experience from analyst to VP. Raised capital across closed end funds, open end vehicles, institutional separate accounts, and single asset syndications in major U.S. markets, Asia, and the Middle East.

Capabilities

Capital Formation. Raising and deploying capital across fund vehicles and direct investments. Managing the full lifecycle from investor sourcing and due diligence through commitment, closing, and ongoing reporting.

Investor Relations. Building and maintaining relationships with family offices, UHNW investors, and institutional allocators across North America, the Middle East, and Asia. Clear communication, especially when stakes are high.

Growth Strategy. Working alongside operators to develop and pressure test growth plans, model unit economics, refine positioning, and prepare businesses for their next stage of capital.

AI Operations Tooling. Building production software that connects AI to real business operations. MCP servers and Microsoft Teams bots that give teams natural language access to platforms like Toast and MarginEdge.

What Others Say

"Matthew is one of the few people in this business who calls you when there is nothing to sell. That is why he gets our capital." — Family Office Principal, Southwest U.S.

"Clear, direct, and always prepared. He understands our mandate better than most GPs we work with." — CIO, Multi Family Office

"We committed to three consecutive vehicles because of the relationship Matthew built with our team. The returns matter, but the trust matters more." — Managing Director, RIA Platform

Principles

I hold a few things as non negotiable in how I work:

1. Thoughtful underwriting over speed. The best capital relationships are built on rigor, not urgency.
2. Alignment between capital partners and operators. Structures should reward patience and shared outcomes.
3. Clarity in communication. Investors deserve direct answers, especially when the news is mixed.
4. Durable business models. I focus on companies built for long term ownership, not quick exits.
