Mat Elis of SixtyAI formerly of Cloudability on Generative AI and Building Viral Products

The Capital Stack

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Mat, and I must say, he is absolutely delightful, despite his charming accent. As is often the case with founders, he found it challenging to remain idle after the successful sale of Cloudability for a staggering $1.8B, backed by Founders Fund and Foundry.
