Matthew Sopiars

Matthew’s life has unfolded in leaps—bold departures from the known into the uncertain. From landing in Los Angeles with $200 and a backpack, to a decade expanding a startup across Europe and Asia, each move was a wager on possibility. In Serbia, a short-term assignment became a long-term life—he met his wife, led international growth, and came to feel “almost Serbian.” His company Olive Tree Ventures continues to actively cultivate new B2B ventures with the same enterprising spirit that brought him halfway around the world.

As founder of Sales Clover, Matthew runs a cross-continental consultancy helping tech firms modernize their go-to-market strategies. What compels him is not scale, but soul: finding overlooked talent, solving tangled problems, and giving good ideas their rightful chance. He’s particularly drawn to models that uplift rural and international workers, reflecting his own winding path from college dropout to global operator.

Matthew believes each person is granted one or two true opportunities in life—quiet, pivotal moments that must be seized fully. Back in Boulder with his wife and two young children, Matthew creates more time for learning, getting outside, spending time with his family, and contributing to his community. He’s exploring new ventures at the intersection of workforce development and global hiring—building pathways for untapped rural and international talent to break into tech.
