At Matter, we’re committed to taking the “hard” out of HardTech. Beyond capital and advice, we bring execution heft and strategic leverage. Through years of experience as hands-on investors, founders, and operational executives, we know how to substantially accelerate the process of bringing HardTech innovation to scale. We get customers to our startups early; to shortcut product-market fit. We build business models to scale sustainably from day one. And we’ve built a collection of strategic LPs - the same companies that enabled the fabless model for semiconductors, the rise of cloud computing, and more - to be a diversified manufacturing and technology scale-up supply chain for our startups. We’ve already been doing this for nearly two decades in our work as founders and as VCs at Kleiner Perkins, where we helped companies create the world’s most efficient fuel cells, the most power-efficient chips, and the most capable drones. Now, as Matter, we’re solely focused on building the next generation of HardTech startups developing the technologies that matter most, in the world we actually live in.

In line with its institutional development vision, PSI/Cambodia has evolved into a Cambodian organization, Population Services Khmer (PSK). PSK is an independent, local non-governmental organization that was registered with the Cambodian Ministry of Interior. PSK’s mission is to improve the health of low-income and vulnerable Cambodians through social marketing in collaboration with the Royal Government of Cambodia. PSK will have an organic and sustained connection with PSI and will benefit from the global network to promote life-saving products, services and communications to help Cambodians lead healthier lives.
