Fuel the North

I have worked with Matthew for quite some time now. Matthew has helped me tremendously with my start up from 'just an idea' to a full on business launch. To be honest, I had no idea that people like Matthew even existed. I had heard of Business consultants and business coaches but I never heard of a Business Strategest! And let me tell you, he was a literal God-send! I had no idea about ALL the things that went into a startup! I'm not saying you have to have all the pieces together in order to launch but I will say that I sure am glad that I do because now I can just focus on what it is that I love doing, which is helping others, speaking and writing... without having to worry about back pedaling. Matthew is GREAT at what he does and I highly recommend him as well as his entire company. I plan to keep Matthew on in some way moving forward with my business because he is someone I know I can trust and I have no doubt he will help me to grow tremendously in the future as well.

Matthew is a gem and has truly helped me with organizing my business to take it to the next level! There is no manual for business ownership, however having Matthew as your guide truly sets the stage for success! He is very hands on and has helped me work through many roadblocks and issues that have come up whilst at the same time helping me set the foundation to create efficiencies and implement best practices in all aspects of my business from the initial sales lead to the onboarding of the client and everything in between. We looked at the sales cycle, operational management, financial and legal pieces as well as the marketing and HR components that are critical to growth as well. I would highly recommend Matthew to any business owner who is looking to create a great structure and success for their business!

With Matthew it's a very different experience. You get one person that is strong enough to handle the various parts of the entire engine. And it's done in a way that not only makes the engine work - but makes it work WELL. He is what I would call a Master of all trades in the Startup world. His level of expertise is hidden behind a young looking face in a t-shirt. But make no mistake - Matthew, and I am very intentional with this word - has genius that I have NOT come across in the past 5 years of being an Entrepreneur working with beginner founders. He is someone I completely trust and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get your business off the ground, or to the next level.

I worked closely with Matthew Hogenkamp on parallel startup projects for many months now and am enthusiastic to offer a recommendation as to his character, work ethic, and abilities as a founder. I have found him extraordinarily organized, being able to keep track of many tasks and people concurrently without loss of focus or a dim in enthusiasm. He is uniquely focused on creating a sense of community, making sure everyone feels seen and is attended to. Helping others keep track of important information, and deadlines. Finally, I personally found Matthew always happy to help, regardless of how busy or overwhelmed he may be in his own life or work.

I would like to take this opportunity to recommend an outstanding business strategist. Matthew is diligent about collecting information and insists on developing custom reports and charts to give a very helpful presentation. Most importantly, Matthew always indicates the practical applications his work has for our organization and future revenue generation. He has strong communication skills. He is very detail-oriented, organized and always makes our business relationship both effortless and pleasant. I recommend Matthew for any role through which he can contribute his remarkable creativity and dedication.

I want to take this moment to recommend Matthew Hogenkamp. He was an extremely knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging leader. He was proactive, reliable and extremely generous in terms of his availability and resourcefulness. Matt's leadership brought our Founders together as a community— we called it our new family. As a long time facilitator, psychologist and executive Coach with c-suites, managers and Founders in Technology, I know that any team would be fortunate to have Matt's involvement formally or personally as an advocate or friend. Cudos Matt, and a giant thank you.

It can be very lonely being an entrepreneur and that's why it's so important to have a good business coach, in your corner, giving advice and sharing their expertise. Matthew has helped me keep my eyes on the long-term goals while not forgetting the short-term requirements. I believe he truly does care about helping and making a difference for those he works with and that can be extremely rare to find these days in business. He is knowledgeable, easy to talk with, of high integrity and very knowledgeable about business and creating/following the plans to be successful.

I worked with Matthew on setting up my business foundation and infrastructure for my consulting firm. I found Matthew to be kind, knowledgeable, inspiring and genuine, making working with him delightful. Matthew used his wealth of experience from building startups in the past, to provide a comprehensive and detailed service that went a long way in helping me grow my firm. Matthew never missed a deadline and always kept me in the loop of all changes to his delivery. I would absolutely recommend Matthew to any company looking to build a base and grow.

Working with Matthew as my business strategist has had a huge impact in helping me navigate my business development. Matthew is incredibly supportive and resourceful.

He offers valuable insights and advice that is reliable and he actually cares about other's success. Thank you so much for all your support.

Foster is an incredibly diligent and capable Software Developer with great analytical skills and excellent design taste. He is very knowledgeable of the different types of web infrastructure and I feel confident trusting in his ability to always produce the best results in any environment and/or circumstance. Foster is also very friendly and I can always trust that he will be warm and receptive towards any qualms, queries or questions I may have.

His ability to take on a leadership role is truly unique. He would always take initiative and anticipate problems. He would bring people together and solve problems before they even become a problem. He is like a crisis communications savant. In all seriousness, he creates his own luck with grit and pure hard work. If you need someone to take control and do whatever it takes, to get the job done right, then Matthew is your guy.

When coaches need coaching you need to go to Matthew for solid advice and expertise. As a Real Estate Broker, Investor and Coach with 30 years experience, my experience working with Matthew helped me see the business as a whole vs scattered pieces. It's like a puzzle with many pieces and hiring Matthew helped me with putting all the pieces together. Brilliant, very knowledgeable, resourceful and highly recommended.
