Mission – High value investments in the local community.
Executive profiles:
Matthew Wallace: From Kentucky originally, I truly enjoy the complexities of science, business and the pursuit of a healthier world. For college I headed West and landed at UC Davis and UCLA for degrees in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. After UCLA, I seized an opportunity to perform research at MIT where I eventually co-founded Postdoc Ventures and created the brand BerryLine, the first New England based tart frozen yogurt chain. I am proud to say that through strategic operational oversight and attention to customer demands, BerryLine has excelled and outpaced the competition. My career consists of resourceful leadership with an eye towards the big picture and a focus on the minute details.
Pok Yang: While no longer with the business, I was crucial to initial success of BerryLine. I obtained my education at UCLA, where I meet the dude above, and also jumped at an opportunity to work in research at Harvard. While I miss my days in Cambridge, I am currently a VP at a biotech in Taiwan.
