Summary
Matt Whittington is a serial founder and CEO with a decade-plus career building blockchain, identity, and automated collection systems that move ideas into real-world infrastructure. He founded BountyBoxx and RVM Recycling to deploy reverse vending machines and use blockchain-backed Proof of Recycling to incentivize recycling in non-deposit jurisdictions, starting with Texas high schools. Previously he led blockchain and IoT identity efforts as Chief Blockchain Architect and CTO across startups and layer-1 projects, applying permissioned chains to real estate markets and offline digital identity research. Matt combines hands-on engineering and product vision—having built a digital currency exchange and multiple platform consolidations—with a knack for creating sponsor-funded, market-facing pilots that cover their own costs. Based in Cedar Park, TX, he bridges regulatory, technical, and operational domains to scale circular-economy solutions. An uncommon strength: he designs incentives and commercial partnerships so sustainability initiatives are self-sustaining rather than taxpayer-funded.
