Hi! My name’s Matt Collins.
I help companies build better online products and services.
This often involves helping teams apply the best modern principles to deliver more value in less time.
My Background
I previously co-founded and helped grow a number of online businesses:
- Was the first CTO at LoveCrafts, a VC-backed e-commerce retailer, helping grow the business from almost nothing to £multi-million per year.
- Co-founded and sold the UK’s first food-focused daily deals website.
- Launched and sold a cosmetics subscription box business.
Prior to this, I developed software for Cisco‘s multi-billion dollar lines of networking gear while based in London and Paris.
