Top SchoolMatthew Schutte is a founder and business-development leader with 12+ years building decentralized internet infrastructure and tooling, currently driving product-market fit for Unyt’s Domino decentralized microtransaction orchestration. He co-founded Holochain and Holo.Host, blending applied philosophy with distributed-systems design to prioritize human-centered coordination over corporate control. Matthew pairs hands-on technical writing contributions to open-source projects like holochain-proto with strategic roles advising nonprofits and prize design (XPRIZE) to scale ideas into practice. His background spans law (UC Berkeley JD), teaching, product strategy, and community-building—skills he leverages to design resilient social and technical systems. Based in Puerto Rico, he favors high-impact, high-joy projects and brings a rare mix of systems thinking, privacy-first architecture, and experience operationalizing alternative economic models. Notably, he has moved from foundational protocol work into practical products that cut transaction fees for DePIN projects by 90%+ while opening new revenue paths.
