Hi, I'm Matti. I'm building what I wish I'd had.

I'm a small business owner who's been in the messy middle, and I started Local Launch Co because I want to build something I wish I had when I started my small business at the age of 20.

For the last 7 years, I've been running Love Local Markets (formerly Hazel Avenue Markets) — what started as one little pop-up market and somehow grew into events across Utah, Arizona, and Idaho with hundreds of vendors. A lot of late nights and a lot of figuring it out the hard way.

Along the way I've met the most incredible makers and small business owners. Women who quit their jobs to follow a dream. Couples who turned a side hustle into a real income. Single moms making pottery in their garages at midnight.

Real help shouldn't cost $5,000 or come from someone who's never done it. So I'm building the thing I wish I'd had — real templates, monthly mentorship, actual legal help through my partner Tanner's firm, and a community where you can be honest about the hard stuff without being judged.

Hi, I'm Tanner. The legal half.

I've spent the last decade doing the kind of work small businesses desperately need but rarely get access to — contracts, business formation, funding agreements, and the fine print that quietly protects everything you're building.

I've helped small business owners file their LLCs, draft and review contracts, sort out agreements with contractors and partners, and navigate funding the right way from day one.

Most small business owners operate without any legal protection at all, not because they don't care, but because real legal help has always felt out of reach. I'm here to change that.

Through Local Launch Co, members get genuine legal support — consults, discounted filings, contract reviews — from someone who actually understands small business, because I've spent a decade in it.
