Matt Espinoza and Ryan Kaufman are co-founders and managing partners of Halation®. The first portfolio company was Journey+ which was built, scaled, and sold to private equity in 3 months. In the following eight months, they incubated three more companies with incredible operators.
Before Halation, Ryan was on the founding team at Copy.ai, Clearco, and Head of Content for Noah Kagan while working with 20+ startups at Atomic VC. Matt scaled companies to millions of users where his first software company was acquired by a $50m company when he turned 19.
Halation's mission is simple: build profitable bootstrapped companies with unfair distribution advantages from day one — while sharing our learnings along the way.
