Matt shares his unusual path through SaaS, from computer science at Santa Clara, to Marketo, to leading private equity backed software companies, and how a strong network of people willing to \"take a bet\" on you can unlock unexpected opportunities. Matt also unpacks Planview's approach to hybrid work through what the company calls \"purposeful connections,\" which is less about counting office days and more about bringing people together for a reason, to build relationships, solve real problems, and strengthen mentorship. The conversation closes with an optimistic look at Austin's tech ecosystem, what makes it special, and what the community needs to protect as the city keeps growing. If you care about innovation and community, this one hits the sweet spot. ********** Thank you to the sponsor of Austin Tech Connect - Calavista Software... Software development without the drama.
