I’m Matt Hunter, a CEO coach and author based in Boulder, CO. I have 15 years of experience founding and leading companies, most notably co-founding Turnstyle (acquired by Yelp) and serving as President & CEO of Founders Pledge, an organization for high-impact giving that’s raised over $10B for charity from startup founders. Now I support growth and later-stage founders and CEOs with becoming great leaders and creating winning cultures. My current roster of founder and CEO clients represents companies with a collective market cap in the high 10-figure range. I am also co-authoring a forthcoming leadership book on toughness set to be published by Hachette in Fall 2026 with premier Silicon Valley executive coach John Baird.
