Hi, I’m Matt. I

live for being onstage.

I was born in South Africa in 1990, moved to London in 98, and have been based out of Oslo since 2017.

My career started in growth-stage venture capital at Conde Nast, investing in 2 unicorns; Farfetch & Vestiare Collective. I then followed my entrepreneurial interests and founded a media company (The Lunicorn), to bring entertainment to the innovation industry.

My short-form documentaries have been viewed over 2 million times, and I’ve worked with the likes of Microsoft and the European Commission. In November 2020, the company was acquired by Atender.io.

Today, I am a professional event host and corporate entertainer travelling the world hosting some of the largest events and creating the most memorable experiences for these audiences.

“Matt is that rare combination of natural showmanship and knowledgeable presenter. He can wake up any audience with his energy, charisma and jokes, while his tech/startups/venture experience make his speeches relevant and to the point. Highly recommend him..”

— Sergiu Maznic, Startup Grind Oslo

“Highly versatile and professional host strikes an impressive balance between entertainment, guest and audience engagement and presentation, tailored absolutely towards his client's needs. Matt brings an energy and hosting professionalism which you would be hard pushed to find outside of prime time television.“

— Ross Brooks, Investment Director at Katapult Ocean

“Matt er en glede å kunne se på en scene: han tar essensen i hva en rekke ulike foredragsholdere ønsker å formidle, er selvsikker, og briljerer faglig på en humoristisk måte. Han holder publikum engasjert gjennom hele programmet og finner kjapt løsninger om ikke alt går etter planen – hos oss skrev han feks en sang om de ulike kundegruppene i publikum og fremførte på sparket. En slik scenetilværelse på Engelsk ser jeg sjeldent i Norge.”

— Lisa Nyvol, CEO Startup Extreme.

“Matt never fails to engage and create enthusiasm, making even the most serious of scientists laugh! He has given our events a little extra and is the talk of the participants long after the event has ended. I would engage Matt again in a heartbeat.”.”

— Anita Moe Larsen, Norway Health Tech

“If you are looking for someone insightful and can fill the room with energy, good vibes and humour, Matt’s the man!. He truly made the evening! He gave a great speech on the history and development of Angel Investing and even wrote a song that he performed from the stage. Just awesome!!

— Hans Christian Bjørn, The Factory
