Matt Seidler

Matt has nearly 20 years of experience investing in and advising founder and family-owned growth companies. He is involved in all investment activities in the US and shares overall leadership in the firm’s Australia office.

Matt has been a trusted Board member and advisor to a dozen current and former SEP partner companies. He is particularly experienced in helping foster (and accelerate) organic and acquisition-driven growth initiatives, along with overall global expansion strategies. Matt is passionate about helping founders and CEOs “grow the pie” in a partnership-oriented manner.

Prior to joining SEP in 2009, Matt spent seven years at a boutique investment bank that specialized in M&A advisory services for family-owned businesses. Having grown up in a multi-generational family business himself, Matt recognizes the importance of considering not only economic goals, but also non-economic objectives, both when entrepreneurs and their families are evaluating taking on a growth partner and when they eventually exit.

Matt graduated with a degree in Finance from The University of Notre Dame—completing his course work at both the South Bend, Indiana and Fremantle, Western Australia campuses.
