Mat Sherman@matsherman • Joined Jul 2025

In 2019, I started a podcast called Forward Thinking Founders where I interviewed 900 pre-seed founders over the course of the next 5 years. Some of those founders went on to build literal billion dollar companies and made thousands of people rich. With this newly minted network, I started working as an equity partner to tech founders to help them build their network for the purpose of raising VC.
