ABOUT MATTHEW DEAN

I build and scale ventures.Over the last 15+ years I’ve worked at the intersection of eCommerce, technology and commercial growth — founding, scaling and supporting businesses from early-stage through to meaningful revenue.Most notably, I co-built and scaled an eCommerce services business from zero to ~£5m revenue, serving 250+ customers and employing ~100 people. That experience continues to shape how I approach new ventures today.My focus is on identifying where value is created — and then building the commercial engine to unlock it.That typically means- Turning ideas into commercially viable products- Defining pricing and revenue models that scale- Building repeatable sales and go-to-market engines- Identifying and validating real customer demand- Structuring businesses so they are investable and scalableI’m most effective in early-stage environments where there is ambiguity, pace and opportunity — working either as a founder, partner or alongside founders to help move from concept to traction.Currently focused on building a start up in stealth mode.More broadly, I’m interested in opportunities where- there is a clear structural inefficiency- the solution can become a standard or platform- commercial execution is as important as the ideaIf you’re building something interesting, investing in early-stage businesses, or thinking about how to turn a concept into a scalable company — I’m always open to a conversation.
