In the last year of college, Matt Diteljan co-founded Glacier, which has grown to become the largest high school advertising network in North America. Don't miss the show to see what inspired Matt to build this successful startup.
Meet Matt Diteljan — Co-Founder and CEO of Glacier. Glacier is the leader in high school and student advertising. With the largest high school advertising network and the largest student influencer network in North America, Glacier helps colleges and universities reach Gen Z in contextually relevant ways.
Matt was born and raised in Calgary, Canada. During university, Matt realized a traditional career path wasn’t for him. He was interested in too many different things — from psychology to media and statistics to marketing — so he settled on entrepreneurship.
After his first startup, Faculty Wars, the largest network of dodge ball tournaments in Calgary (and perhaps in all of Canada), was shut down by the institutional powers that be, and his idea of launching a student laundry service wasn’t gaining much traction, Matt sat down with his good friend Patrick Straw. It was that brainstorm session that yielded the idea behind what would become Glacier.
Tune in to learn more about the experiences, the opportunities, the mistakes, and the sheer luck that inspired a couple of college kids from Canada to build the continent’s largest student influencer network.
