Matthew W De Dominicis

Matthew De Dominicis is the Administrative Partner and Chief Financial Officer of Norwest Venture Partners, a multi-stage investment firm with more than $15 billion under management. He joined Norwest in 2016 and was elevated to Administrative Partner and CFO in a February 2024 round of firm-wide promotions. In this role he oversees Norwest's global operating functions — Finance, HR, Tax, IT, Facilities, and Data Science — and works alongside the firm's portfolio-company finance leaders. His profile emphasizes 25+ years of experience in strategic finance, fund management, and operations across private equity, venture capital, and hedge funds.

Before Norwest, De Dominicis was Chief Financial Officer at Watershed Asset Management, an SEC-registered investment adviser, where he ran business operations for a firm managing over $1 billion across multiple hedge funds. Earlier, he served as Fund Controller at Highland Capital Partners, supporting the finance function for the firm's venture capital and private equity funds. He also held earlier roles at Sowood Capital Management, Liberty Mutual Group, and Ernst & Young.

De Dominicis holds a BBA in Accounting from the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame and an MBA (Finance & International Business) from the University of Massachusetts, Boston. He is a Certified Public Accountant.

> Important accuracy note: The stub data labeling Matthew De Dominicis as an "Angel Investor" writing "Seed Round" checks appears to be an aggregator error. He is the firm's CFO and administrative partner — a fund operations and finance executive — not an investment partner who sources or leads deals. He is not known to make personal angel investments, and Norwest itself is an institutional VC/growth firm, not an angel network.

• De Dominicis does not lead investments; as CFO he is responsible for fund finance, operations, tax, and the firm's overall business infrastructure rather than deal-making or portfolio selection.
• Firm-level context (Norwest): a multi-stage investor deploying capital from early stage through growth/late stage and select buyouts, across enterprise software, consumer, and healthcare.
• Norwest operates from the U.S. with dedicated teams and funds in India and Israel, and manages over $15B in capital across successive funds.
• Any founder-facing "check size" or "stage" attributed personally to De Dominicis should be treated as unverified — those decisions sit with Norwest's investing partners, not the CFO.
