Hi, I'm Mat, a 26 year old entrepreneur from Sydney, Australia. I've been involved in business since the age of 16 when I was importing consumer electronics from China for resale here in Australia whilst still in school. You can read about that part of my life in a blog post titled "My Early Business Life: A 6 Figure Business That Fell Apart When I Was 16".
Since than I've launched numerous businesses & products that have generated hundreds of thousands of dollars, tens of millions of visitors, millions of social media shares and featured on all mediums including TV, radio, print & web. Now, I'm continuing to build unique & interesting products that can be used by people all around the world. I'm always up for collaborating with like-minded people so if you want to work together, get in touch below.

After only being live for a little over a week the website was sold in an online auction for 6 figures.
