Why we founded supergroup
The traditional media Network ‘buy and build’ model is creaking… networks acquire agencies, dilute culture, alienate founders, and lose significant value in the process.
So we created supergroup as an alternative M&A network that successful Agency founders (like us) would authentically wish to join.
An opportunity for joining founders to amplify their ambitions with maximum money off the table. Freedom and flexibility to protect people and cultures. To play a key part of growing something bigger with other curious and brilliant entrepreneurs. And to leap into the next chapter with energy, creativity and virtue.
Sounds super, doesn’t it?
supergroup is now
live and growing!
supergroup is now live and growing with a portfolio of companies consisting of over 200 staff, 180 global clients, and 2024 predicted revenues of over £17m.
Ramping up M&A activity, we are planning to double the size of supergroup within the next two years.
If you are a founder looking for the ‘next big event ‘ in your journey and meet our criteria, reach out to our leadership team.

James Matthewman
CEO
Scaling Underground Ecom from a side hustle at uni, to a global business with 100+ remote staff and 110 clients in under four years is mighty impressive.
Doing all this before your 24th birthday is frankly ridiculous! Hugely ambitious and focussed, James will be the youngest ever network CEO… and now wants to be the
very best.
Joe Williams
CCO
Joe and the Version 2 (V2) team build de-risked models that clients cannot resist. They then scale these models across sectors and geos.
With a lean innovative team based in Bath, UK, he has been able to scale V2 by over 300% year on year, navigating the ever-changing waters of paid advertising. Joe is looking forward to group innovating and finding acquisition gems.
