Mathieu Bertrand

Many entrepreneurs find their ‘why’ because of their own lived experiences which shape the sort of person they become and the sort of impact they want to make in the world. This is certainly the case for Mat Bertrand whose personal experiences led to him leaving behind a varied career in the financial planning industry and time as an underwear model to founding the fourth fastest growing tech startup in Australia.

Like Family, is part of Australia’s growing care economy and it’s a beautiful solution for people living with a disability, an illness, injury or simply getting a little older.

Since launching in 2016, they’ve helped thousands of Australians find the most reliable locals who can help people with non-medical activities such as community participation, daily activities and skill building.

And, it also means they have a unique workforce (who are like one big family) comprising students, full-time workers, stay-at-home mums and dads, retirees, professional athletes, musicians, actors and much more – it’s this diversity that helps people to find the best match for them.                                          
                                                               
Mat is a brilliant communicator and is as comfortable in a corporate setting as he is in an intimate informal environment, just hand him the microphone and he’ll do the rest.
