From Teenage Web Developer to Multi-Million Dollar Exit with Matt Cimino
What does it take to build, scale, and successfully exit a software company?
In this episode of Amplified CEO, Richard Stroupe sits down with Matt Cimino, Managing Partner of Amped Ventures and former founder of Amped, a Wilmington-based software company acquired by Intuit.
Matt's entrepreneurial journey began at just 14 years old building websites for local businesses and eventually led to creating multiple technology companies, scaling teams, navigating product pivots, and closing an eight-figure acquisition.
Matt discusses bootstrapping a software business, lessons learned from building products that don't scale, the importance of staying close to customers, integrating into a Fortune 500 organization, and the opportunities AI is creating for the next generation of founders.
