Matt Oxley (Opal Co-Founder) — Selling Everything, Scaling to the US, and the Real Founder Mindset

This morning I sat down with Matt Oxley - co-founder of Opal, Managing Director at US Expansion Partners, and Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Smedvig Ventures.

No filters. No masks. Just two founders trading real stories:

• Why work ethic only matters if you know your WHY

• Betting his life savings on Opal and moving to Portland

• Scaling with Madrona & Accel — the highs and lows

• What separates good founders from the ones who stall out

• How he now helps EU startups crack the US playbook

• Founder mental health, burnout, and learning when to quit
