Why Choose Us?
Hi, I'm Matt Wilson, Founder and Managing Director at Allied Venture Partners.
As an exited founder turned angel investor and venture capitalist, I have invested in over 100 early-stage technology startups since 2012, including seven successful exits (notably Pinterest and Lyft). I’m also a limited partner in six venture capital funds.
Prior to founding Allied in 2020 and dedicating myself full-time to venture capital, I gained extensive experience as a deal scout for numerous VC firms and angel syndicates. Additionally, I worked as a startup advisor, providing founders with valuable guidance on sales, marketing, and go-to-market strategies.
With investments made during the dot-com bubble, global financial crisis, and COVID-19 pandemic, I have gained a wealth of experience navigating multiple public and private market cycles.
My academic track record includes:
Pre-Law Undergraduate Degree (magna cum laude)
Master of Business Administration (summa cum laude)
Venture Financing certificate from Kauffman Fellows
Venture Capital and Private Equity certificate from Harvard Business School
Distinguished graduate: VC Lab Accelerator Program for top emerging managers.
Outside of business, I’m a former athlete who has worked at the professional and national championship levels.
In 2020, I launched Allied on a mission to democratize access to venture capital for startups and investors. To date, Allied has helped dozens of startups raise over $100 million in venture capital, including numerous follow-on financings and acquisitions.
I look forward to working together,
–Matt

VC Consulting Services…
-
As a VC Consultant, Allied will evaluate a prospective startup's business model and market potential.
We will also review the startup's pitch deck, executive summary, and other supporting documents.
Additionally, if a prospective deal comes across your desk, send it to us for a second opinion.
-
As part of our VC due diligence process, Allied will assess the target market size and growth potential.
By analyzing market trends and the competitive landscape, we will ensure that every deal opportunity is venture-backable and venture-scalable.
-
Early-stage venture capital due diligence requires evaluating the founding team’s experience and execution capability.
Although many analysts can crunch numbers and run quantitative analyses, the critical differentiator that provides a successful edge in VC is a deep knowledge & experience in the qualitative elements of a business (e.g., Founder-Market Fit).
These are the intangible attributes that can only be gained from many years of experience working with founders and investing in startups.
-
Allied will review the product, service, or technology for its innovative potential and scalability.
Using our proprietary 100+ point VC due diligence checklist, we will assess the company's development stage and feasibility.

As your fractional VC advisor, Allied will analyze the startup’s financial projections and funding requirements.
This includes reviewing existing financial statements, funding milestones, and financial models for red flags.

A valuation assessment based on industry benchmarks & market comparables is also provided for reference.
