Meet The Founders

Of The 9% Club!

Matthew Henderson

Founder

Matthew Henderson got his first taste of entrepreneurship at age 5, answering phones at his family's taxi business. While other kids were playing make-believe, he was getting a masterclass in hustle and grit, watching his grandparents and parents build successful businesses from scratch.

That real-world business education ignited a passion for building and scaling companies. He transformed his family's former taxi company into a success story, built a thriving paddle board retail business, and turned an e-commerce venture into a powerhouse. His knack for growth and sales optimization made him the go-to expert for companies ready to scale.

But it was the hard knocks from his solo entrepreneurial journey that revealed his true passion – helping other founders shortcut the painful learning curve and build profitable businesses faster. Today, through the 9% Club, he helps entrepreneurs turn their vision into reality using battle-tested strategies that actually move the needle.

When he's not helping businesses scale, Matthew can be found catching waves at local beaches with his wife Malena and their English Bulldog Marty, or traveling the world in search of the perfect surf spot.

David Goldstein

Founder

David Goldstein caught the entrepreneurship bug early, launching his first business at age 9. While other kids dreamed of playing professional sports, he was sketching plans to own the team.

That early spark ignited a career in building and scaling successful companies, including ventures that earned recognition as a "Top 5 Technology" at Techweek NYC and "Hottest Healthcare Startup" by TechCocktail. 

But it was the hard-won lessons from both successes and setbacks that revealed David's true calling – helping other founders build thriving businesses without having to learn everything the hard way.

A recognized business scaling expert and trusted CEO advisor to high-growth companies, David’s mission led him to co-found Scarlet Startups, one of New Jersey's largest tech entrepreneur communities, mentor founders at Tigerlabs Ventures, and guide the next generation of business leaders at Rutgers University and Baruch College. 

Today, through the 9% Club, he helps founders turn great ideas into scalable, profitable companies using proven playbooks that actually work.When he's not working with entrepreneurs, David can be found coaching his kids' sports teams and enjoying time with his family and their dog.
