Rich Matsuura is a founder and product executive with over a decade of experience building and scaling consumer and marketplace products from startup MVPs to multi-hundred-million-dollar business lines. He combines hands-on technical skills from his early web hosting and development days with leadership roles at eBay—where he created agile product teams, shipped shipping labels and trust programs that drove hundreds of millions in GMV and reversed a long Seller NPS decline—and as VP of Product at PandaTree, achieving top-rated product-market fit. Comfortable owning P&L, vendor negotiations, and cross-functional programs, he repeatedly translates seller and customer interviews into measurable efficiency and revenue gains. He brings a strong mix of product strategy, data-driven experimentation, and operational rigor, having launched fast MVPs, integrated CRM-driven growth funnels, and even VR experiences for education. Based in Honolulu, Rich continues to found and advise startups, now focusing on stealth AI ventures while retaining deep expertise in marketplaces, seller-focused platforms, and education technology. An underappreciated strength is his track record of institutionalizing agile practices that other large teams later adopted.
