Matt Thomas

Matt Thomas is the co-founder of ThatRound, helping to build the UK’s go-to marketplace for startup fundraising. With a background in scaling early-stage companies and advising founders, Matt brings a sharp focus on what investors really look for – and how startups can position themselves to meet that bar.

Before joining ThatRound, Matt led growth and strategy roles across fast-moving tech businesses, gaining a deep understanding of product-market fit, commercial traction, and founder–investor dynamics. His writing combines practical fundraising advice with straight-talking insights drawn from both sides of the table.

Matt’s articles, including his widely-read breakdown on product-market fit, aim to demystify the investor mindset and help founders make better, faster decisions. At ThatRound, he’s focused on building transparent, time-saving tools that help founders connect with the right funding partners at the right stage.

Outside of work, Matt mentors founders, contributes to startup ecosystem events, and keeps a close eye on UK venture market trends.
