Fayetteville, AR --
EquityNet, LLC announced today that Matthew Imhoff is joining the EquityNet
team as Vice President of Business Development. In making the announcement,
EquityNet CEO Judd Hollas stated, “We are delighted that Matthew is joining our
team to lead our business development activities. Matthew began working as a
consultant with EquityNet in mid-2009, and, given his distinguished skill set
and level of execution, we are very pleased to have him join our team full
time. His leadership abilities, teamwork, specialized domain knowledge, and
passion for EquityNet’s mission will enable him to have a great impact on the
success of our company.”
In response to his new
role with EquityNet, Mr. Imhoff said, “EquityNet represents a unique
opportunity for me to apply my interdisciplinary knowledge in a two-sided
market that has yet to experience the kind of sophisticated system that we are
commercializing. It’s no secret that inefficiencies in the private equity
domain cause many otherwise game-changing businesses to go undercapitalized.
EquityNet’s solution will empower entrepreneurs with what they need to achieve
their goals while bringing new investors, who would otherwise only invest in
public companies or not invest at all, into the private equity domain. The
economic repercussions of such efficiencies, the class A management team at
EquityNet, and the top-notch company culture fuels my passion for this
organization and this position.”
Mr. Imhoff will work
closely with the CEO in executing EquityNet’s strategy for business development
and will also be responsible for a portion of all sales and marketing efforts.
Mr. Imhoff’s primary focus will be to execute business development and
partnering strategies on the entrepreneur side of the market, which includes
individual entrepreneurs, government programs, business incubators, and
business support consultants. In his new role at EquityNet, Mr. Imhoff will
leverage his experience in tech-based business development and management, web
development and online marketing, strategic planning and marketing, and market
and competitive research.
Prior to joining
EquityNet, Mr. Imhoff worked as a business consultant for MyZeo.com in Newton,
Massachusetts, where he assisted MyZeo in preparing for its first product
launch. Mr. Imhoff also provided business consultancy services for Agiltron of
Woburn, Massachusetts, a leading producer and developer of innovative photonic
components and systems, where he conducted market research for new product
development and developed the company’s business plan to bring to market a

Engineer for Ayrshire Electronics in Fayetteville, Arkansas; as an Analyst at
the Arkansas Capital Corporation Group in Little Rock, Arkansas; and as a
Research Assistant at Harvard University’s Accessible Technology Laboratory in
