The founder
Every side of the table.
Matthew Sutika has been the agency owner, the founder, the founder who sold, the executive inside the acquirer, and the founder again. Almost nobody running a holding company has sat in all of those chairs. Sutika Capital is what that vantage point builds.

The firm stays the hero
This page is the whole of it. Matthew writes and speaks under his own name — essays, field notes, and talks on building companies — at his personal site. Everything else he does runs through the companies, and the companies run through the firm.
