He is a two-time Y Combinator alumnus and has founded multiple venture-backed startups, giving him firsthand experience with company formation and fundraising. He currently works in growth at Numeral, a software platform focused on sales-tax compliance, after previously building businesses including Positional and ContainIQ. His investing activity is concentrated largely in early-stage technology companies, including many companies from the Y Combinator ecosystem. Matherson brings practical knowledge of growth, SaaS, developer-oriented products, content strategy, and startup go-to-market execution. Because he has operated on both sides of the fundraising table, he can offer founders perspective on customer acquisition, product-market fit, hiring, and capital efficiency. His profile is especially relevant to founders looking for an active operator-investor with broad exposure to pre-seed and seed-stage technology businesses.
