About

My name is Matt Paulson and I’m an entrepreneur, a private equity investor and an author.

My company, MarketBeat, is an Inc. 5000 financial media company that empowers individual investors to make better trading decisions by providing stock market news, real-time financial data, and best-in-class research tools. MarketBeat was recognized as the fastest-growing privately held company by Inc. Magazine in 2016 and has since been recognized by Barron’s, Entrepreneur Magazine and several other publications for its continued growth and success. With more than 1.5 million subscribers and 15 million monthly page views, MarketBeat is arguably South Dakota’s widest-reaching vertical media company.

As an active private equity investor, I have invested in more than 60 small businesses and startups, including Buffer, Dollar Shave Club, Lime, Lyft, Ripple, Robinhood, and Wikia. In 2016, I brought together 31 investors to launch Falls Angel Fund, the first new angel investment fund in Sioux Falls in more than a decade. Since then, I’ve raised/invested more than $5 million in seed-stage venture capital to invest in scalable companies located in South Dakota and surrounding states.

Through my books, my community building efforts and my private equity investments, I teach others to leverage the power of entrepreneurship in their lives. I am the author of eight personal finance and entrepreneurship books, including Online Business from Scratch, Email Marketing Demystified, The Ten-Year Turnaround, and Automatic Income. I have organized a local community group of entrepreneurs called Startup Sioux Falls which boasts more than 6,500 members. I also provide leadership to several other startup organizations and events, including 1 Million Cups, Hey Sioux Falls, Innovation Expo, and the Zeal Center for Entrepreneurship.

I serve on the Board of Trustees at Sioux Falls Seminary, on the Board of Directors at the Zeal Center for Entrepreneurship, and as the Church Treasurer for Faith Baptist Fellowship.

I live in Sioux Falls, SD, with my wife Karine, and my two children, Micah and Adylin.
