Matthew Helderman is the CEO and co-founder of BondIt Media Capital and Buffalo 8. Helderman founded Buffalo 8 in 2010, while an undergrad student at Lake Forest College. Buffalo 8 has since premiered projects at Sundance, SXSW, and Berlin, as well as producing the Netflix original film "Rodney King" directed by Spike Lee and the global Netflix hit "Conversations With a Killer: Jeffrey Dahmer" directed by Emmy winner Joe Berlinger.

In 2013, he co-founded BondIt Media Capital and has led BondIt in the deployment of over $250M of capital in over 400+ film, television, and media opportunities, while raising $30M of equity and debt for a partial sale to public traded Accord Financial (TSX: ACD) in addition to expanding the company's credit facility to $75M in 2020 with Texas based hedge fund Revere Capital.

BondIt projects include Oscar nominated Loving Vincent, the Roland Emerich directed war epic Midway, the Indie Spirit winner The Peanut Butter Falcon, and projects Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Nicolas Cage, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Liam Neeson, Mel Gibson, Kevin James, Morgan Freeman, Jason Sudeikis, Kevin Smith, and Samuel L. Jackson resulting in over $500M+ of worldwide box office performances.

Helderman also co-managed the acquisition of 30-year-old entertainment payroll firm, ABS Payroll in 2017 and today serves as an Executive Director, Partner, and Board Member having overseen the sale of the business to largest PEO provider in the United States, Vensure Employer Services.

Helderman graduated from Lake Forest College with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, has been a featured TED speaker, profiled in the New York Times, and is a member of YPO.
