The History

Matt’s previous fund CRCM was the first investor in musical.ly. Matt, along with musical.ly and TikTok alumni Alex Hofmann, JJ Aguhob and James Veraldi launched Progression in 2020. We launched Fund III and we are building more structure around the TikTok alumni community, providing members with a platform to connect, collaborate and share.
