Matt Oxley (Opal Co-Founder) — Selling Everything, Scaling to the US, and the Real Founder Mindset
Description
This morning I sat down with Matt Oxley - co-founder of Opal, Managing Director at US Expansion Partners, and Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Smedvig Ventures.
No filters. No masks. Just two founders trading real stories:
• Building confidence while failing in public
• Why work ethic only matters if you know your WHY
• Betting his life savings on Opal and moving to Portland
• Scaling with Madrona & Accel — the highs and lows
• What separates good founders from the ones who stall out
• How he now helps EU startups crack the US playbook
• Founder mental health, burnout, and learning when to quit
