Hi, I'm Matthew Rosenberg.

Serial entrepreneur, thinker, mentor, and always… product designer at heart.

I take products from 0 to 1: from concept to execution, to eventual exit.

My superpower: bringing great people together in service of one ambitious goal. I’ve been building apps since the very first days of the App Store, founding companies of my own and shepherding them through acquisition, and helping others take flight by matching cutting-edge technology with my unique sensibility on design and function.

My work has been awarded by Apple, and covered by everyone from The New York Times to Esquire.

My career has taken me from New York to Los Angeles and now Austin, always in search of inspiration, beauty, and learning from others.

I bring this ethos to my work, which focuses on bringing people together in amazing new ways, from building one of the world’s first group messaging apps to one of its first VR workspaces. From building the iPhone’s first collaborative video editor, to my most recent role bringing folks together around one table.

Where others wear dress shoes, I’ve always worn sneakers. I love working in the trenches with talented teams to help them operate and deliver at the highest level.

Because even after earning millions of downloads, it’s these moments of construction, together that still inspire me most.

Whiteboard

Founder

Sep 2015 - Sep 2016

Ten years before Apple Vision Pro, Whiteboard originated some of the very first gestures, interfaces, and ways of thinking around collaboration in virtual reality. A fully functional design workspace made for the HTC Vive, Whiteboard made it fun and intuitive to create together.

Whiteboard

Founder

Imagining a UX for VR from the ground up

Due to VR’s lack of design standards, our approach was experimental, adapting to existing technology while exploring innovative user interactions. This method allowed us to push the boundaries of what’s possible in VR, even with current hardware limitations.

Hands are the original controllers

Developing Whiteboard, we aimed to eliminate controllers for intuitive hand tracking, allowing natural VR interaction. However, current technology required controllers for precision.

Creating VR experiences means thinking about architecture

Designing the virtual room for Whiteboard was creatively rich and technically challenging. We aimed to create a functional, inspiring space where remote teams felt connected and engaged. Drawing inspiration from planetariums and cinematic scenarios, we centered users for equal access and visibility, minimizing physical movement and maximizing interaction.
