About Matt Hunckler

I used to think I had to do it all alone.As a founder, I’ve felt the pressure to scale fast, lead strong, and figure it out without showing weakness. But the best growth I’ve seen (personally and professionally) has come from the right conversations, in the right rooms.That’s why I started Powderkeg.For 15+ years we\'ve helped tech CEOs and executives reach their full potential by surrounding them with a curated peer group and a global community of experienced operators. Our members are able to scale smarter with less guesswork and more trusted insight.Our members are leading companies doing $1M–$100M+ in revenue. They’re navigating real growth challenges—hiring execs, extending runway, adapting go-to-market, implementing AI: and they’re doing it with clarity, speed, and support from peers who’ve been there.If you’re a CEO or exec scaling a tech company and want a room where real growth happens, let’s talk.
