Mat Chacon

Growing up in poverty, I couldn’t afford college. So, I helped start a website development company in 1994. At 25, I took part in the $63 million USWeb IPO. By 35, I was a successful software startup executive. By 45, I was named a top 20 VR executive. I eventually attended college when I could afford it and now teach online education for free. Virtual Reality is my passion, but education is my purpose. I co-founded Doghead Simulations to make education accessible & affordable to all.

I'm an experienced CEO with a demonstrated history of building and growing software start-ups. Skilled in Agile & Lean Management, Mergers & Acquisitions, Business Intelligence, Scrum, and Business Process Improvement. Strong business development professional with a MBA in Social Media Marketing from Rutgers Business School and executive education from Harvard Business School.

As CEO of forward-thinking virtual reality & software companies I've been successful in employing asymmetric approaches to rapid, global market adoption, hiring, diversity and revenue. I pride myself on unconventional approaches to building technology companies.

I've helped our company, Doghead Simulations, secure funding, hire top employees around the world, earn the trust of our global users, achieve monthly, recurring revenue and grow our company over 300% from year 1 to year 2 and then grow again over 733% from year 2 to year 3 of business operations.

Trust is earned. I've helped our company earn the trust of our investors, our customers and our very own amazing team members. For me, this is as close as it gets to Heaven.
