Welcome to my corner of the internet...
Iām an engineer building a portfolio of next-gen software companies used by millions.
TL;DR: I'm a 22 y/o whose first startup was acquired by a $50m company. Now, I'm building Halation, a holdCo for building internet companies. I also write life updates š

Early on, I learned a crucial lesson ~
Building companies leads to unparalleled avenues of opportunity.
I built my first software company when I was 18 where we raised hundreds of thousands from investors. Almost exactly a year later, on October 2022, it was acquired by a $50m company and integrated with their 1M+ userbase.
Then in 2024, I started Halation ā an empire that is building & buying internet companies. Our first portfolio company was Journey+ which was built, scaled, and sold to private equity in 3 months. In the following eight months, we incubated three more companies with incredible operators.
I share my learnings publicly on Twitter and YouTube.
You can find me at @mattespoz on the rest of the internet.
