Matthew Du Pont is a founder-turned-sales leader with 11 years of product, engineering, and GTM experience who has repeatedly converted technical products into repeatable revenue engines. As an Expert in Residence at First Round and founder of ProgressPerHour, he coaches technical founders on building the first scalable sales motions and helps them hire their first AEs and sales managers. A 4x #1 devtools salesperson with a background as a product manager and engineer, he marries hands-on technical empathy with data-driven outbound automation to sell to smart, technical buyers. Notably, he has driven record deals and turned around underperforming teams at companies like GrowthBook and LaunchDarkly, and he treats early sales as a product problem—building repeatability rather than just scaling existing processes. Based in Philadelphia, he’s focused on making founders self-sufficient within months rather than years.
