Matt Hulsizer is Co-Founder and Managing Partner of PEAK6 Investments, a financial services and technology firm headquartered in Austin. He started PEAK6 in 1997 as a proprietary options trading firm and has since grown it into a multibillion-dollar enterprise that houses PEAK6 Capital Management, PEAK6 Strategic Capital, Apex Fintech Solutions, Team Focus Insurance Group, We Insure, Evil Geniuses, Zogo, and Poker Power.
A lifelong athlete, Matt has translated decades of building, scaling, and investing in technology and other industries into fresh, data-driven approaches on the pitch. Matt has forged a long and successful track record in global soccer with his wife and business partner, Jenny Just. They previously held ownership stakes in AFC Bournemouth when the club earned promotion to the English Premier League for the first time in 125 years; in Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. from 2021 to 2024, a span in which the team competed in the Premier League; and in Dundalk F.C., which made history during their tenure by becoming the first Irish club to qualify for the group stages of the UEFA Europa League on two occasions.
While sports are Matt's passion, spotting and coaching up-and-coming talent is his calling. Over the past two decades he and Jenny have created, turned around, or invested in more than 200 companies—from options trading and clearing firms to professional sports teams and consumer brands.
Matt captained the hockey team at Amherst College, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in English. He and Jenny moved to Austin in January 2025.
