Startup stories
"Working with the mentors at MATTER helped us firm up our U.S. go-to-market strategies, which entailed making the tough call to go in a completely different direction than the route we’d set off to take when we joined."
Alex Morris, director of programs & regulatory affairs, Densitas
"When we joined MATTER as one of the founding companies five years ago, we were just beginning to build our product, we didn’t have any business plan and we had no idea how we were going to make money. MATTER provided us with the environment and support and resources we needed for growth. And we’re still here after five years."
Sindhu Rajan, CEO & co-founder, HabitNu
"The early days are the hardest in health tech. We owe a significant amount of the early wins to opportunities that MATTER helped generate. We would not be where we are today without MATTER."
David Cohn, Founder & CEO, Regroup
