Matt Anthony

Cofounder of a company based in supporting entrepreneurial design and start-ups. We specialize in connecting with locally-based small-batch manufacturing as a minimum viable product to either fuel scaled up manufacturing or to test a concept enough to get venture funding. We balance time between creating some of our own products and consulting with others in various phases of starting their companies, offering services in traditional product design and development from consumer/market understanding up to that first round of production, testing, and next steps. I specialized in front-end understanding and initial sketch exploration.

Worked to establish a space where people can come together to craft and sell designs in a collaborative environment. Losantiville operates as a lighthouse and harbor for businesses who want to get a start making physical goods in Cincinnati. I help with some general operations and functioning of the space as it continues to progress.
