"...let's proactively get people out of poverty."
Matt came to us with an audacious vision. Where others grandstand about changing the world, he took action by building and growing Risekit. We loved the company’s vision and its ability to spread Mudita and most of all, we were inspired by Matt and his team’s tenacity and drive to fundamentally and consistently change the system for people who were otherwise getting left behind.
Ethan Linkner
Managing Partner, Mudita Venture Partners
"...a founder-first investor."
Mudita is a founder-first investor who also gets stuff done. Their team is wicked smart and leans in extra hard. Since working with Mudita, we have hit all our revenue goals—staying accountable to our fullest potential and envisioning the bigger picture.
Sometimes doubt yourself as a founder, but Ethan and Mudita always have your back.
Our RiseKit dream wouldn’t be possible without Mudita’s team. We are their biggest advocate and appreciate their intention and work with us.
