Founder
Matthew Hanson
Seasoned early stage investor and entrepreneur. Principal at Blu Venture Investors. Married for 30 years and father of four sons.
PAX Momentum combines my three professional passions: Technology, Startups, and Finance. Nothing compares to the energy and creativity of early stage companies, which is why I decided to found PAX Momentum with my son, Jack Hanson.
Some of my proudest achievements include:
- Co-founder of Segovia, a satellite communications company, acquired by Inmarsat for $110M seven years after launch
- Leading the first round of investments in Urgent.ly, a roadside assistance startup named 6th fastest growing company in North America by Deloitte, and leading Blu Venture Investors first round of investments in NS8, a fraud prevention startup just announcing $123M in series A investments
- Angel investor with ten successful exits and counting. I’ve enjoyed the excitement and satisfaction of helping young companies expand, innovate, create jobs, and generate wealth
