Pat Matthews is the Founder & CEO of Active Capital, a San Antonio-based venture firm where he leverages over 20 years of enterprise software experience, including founding Webmail.us which Rackspace acquired for $50 million. His investment thesis targets pre-seed and seed stages for AI-native business software and B2B SaaS companies, with a strategic focus on technical founders building outside Silicon Valley across the United States. Active Capital typically leads concentrated rounds with check sizes of $500,000 to $1 million, writing large early checks into companies often before they have product or revenue. Notable portfolio companies include ProsperOps, Sendoso, Cloudsnap, and Finmark, which represent the firm's backing of early-stage startups leveraging artificial intelligence. Matthews distinguishes himself as a champion of non-coastal markets, operating on the belief that great companies are not geographically constrained and can be built anywhere. He describes his firm’s approach as “high-conviction pre-seed,” prioritizing founders who prefer capital from investors with firsthand startup and exit experience.
