FOUNDER

As founder and CEO of Huckleberry, entrepreneurship is in Matthew Crowe's DNA.

After graduating high school, he became the fifth generation of Crowes to take the helm of the CROWE - one of the Mid-West's premier construction companies, founded in 1859.

Having the good fortune of learning what 150 years of experience brings to a business, Matthew's rapid success since leaving CROWE came as no surprise to anyone. After starting his own landscape architecture business as a 15 year old, he sold it for a tidy profit well before his 21st birthday. In the time since Matthew has built and developed over 20 different companies with a collective worth in excess of $200 million.

Matthew's role models include inventors like Leonardo da Vinci and Thomas Edison, as well as entrepreneur Richard Branson. He regularly writes for RealBusiness Magazine, The San Francisco Chronicle, and on his blog mattcrowe.com.
