TJ Paterick · Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida
Twenty years scaling revenue, partnerships and operations at Groupon, Matterport, Xome and Proof, including a $2.9B public listing. In 2026, $80M of lender and investor processes run end to end for a 17 entity holding company, and 100+ working tools, sites and AI products built hands on.
01 · The short version
I am a revenue and operations executive. At Matterport I ran Americas revenue through the IPO. At Proof I ran enterprise sales, customer success and product operations for AI identity verification. At a diversified holding company I became the operating spine between the founder and the finance, build, land and energy teams. In 2026 I also took the company's capital raising on myself: bank bridges, development facilities and fund structures.
The common thread: when the business is missing a system, I build it. Reporting the owner has wanted for years. A lender database when two raises are running at once. The operating workbook that finally puts projects, debt and cash on one page. Then I run it, hand it off and move to the next gap.
Today I also run Narraitive, where that approach becomes a product.

03 · Capital
Every lender and investor process for a 17 entity holding company, run by me: targeting, packaging, outreach, negotiation and the record behind it.
Led the Americas revenue organization at Matterport through its merger with Gores Holdings VI, announced February 2021: $2.9B pro forma equity value and up to $640M in proceeds, including a $295M PIPE from Tiger Global, Dragoneer, Fidelity, BlackRock funds and Lux Capital. Listed on Nasdaq as MTTR in July 2021. My team carried the largest region through the process.
A $650K SBA 7(a) plus owner equity package and investor deck for a physician led longevity practice: business model, five year operating model and lender package in a week. The same discipline at $650K and at $25M.
A $20M bridge on two energy assets, taken to regional and national banks. Recourse is the first question in every conversation, so it is answered before the deck goes out.
A $25M development facility across three projects, four lenders in process at once.
A $25M investor fund with a preference and an exit premium, modeled and tested before counsel. A $10M project equity raise for a power adjacent data center site.
Decks, one page deal sheets, investment memos, gated data rooms and a 75 name lender CRM, so the next raise starts from a system, not a blank page.
The right lenders and investors for the asset, the structure and the recourse.
Deck, one page deal sheet, model and data room, built before the first call.
Sequenced, tracked, followed up. One log of every touch.
Recourse, pricing, structure and what to hold back for leverage.
One CRM, one log, and the lessons back into the playbook.
The hardest part of any raise is knowing who to call, what to send, in what order and what to hold back for leverage. That process is now a product spec.
04 · Partnerships and channels
At Proof (Notarize) I ran enterprise, business services and strategic partnerships. The channel programs below were the growth engine: national retail, document software and the CRM every sales team lives in. Earlier, the same playbook took an iPad point of sale through Apple's channel and Ingenico's payment network.
05 · What I build
Everything below was built by me, hands on, in Lovable, Excel, Claude and code. Names are changed where the work belongs to a company or client. Each card says what it is, why it exists and where it was used.
