About Mat
Mat Simmons raised his first private capital in 2006 and has been deploying it ever since — through the 2008 financial crisis, the longest expansion on record, a pandemic, and the current rate reset. That experience across full market cycles shapes how SIMM Capital underwrites today: capital structure first, downside before upside, and a willingness to walk away from any deal that doesn't pass the checklist.
Over roughly twenty years, Mat has operated across real estate, manufacturing, and retail — experience as an owner and operator, not just an allocator. He founded SIMM Capital in 2014 and leads the firm's investment strategy and term negotiations across its three strategies: real estate, development, and private credit.
Mat is the author of Become Scaleable. He lives and works in the Pittsburgh area, where SIMM Capital is headquartered, investing nationally.
“Disciplined investing creates freedom.”
