After selling his first venture, he moved to New York to explore new opportunities in the financial sector, quickly making his mark by helping innovative entrepreneurs transform their ideas into thriving businesses.

As a founding member and the former Director of Development at the kid's and family animation studio, Curiosity Ink Media, Matt Cubberly created and developed over 26 TV/feature film properties - shepherding them from initial concept through development, pitching, and production. Within 4 years, his efforts helped grow the studio’s valuation to $28MM, at which point it was acquired by media conglomerate, GROM Social in 2021.Among the properties he's created/led development on are the holiday feature film (and online universe) SANTA.COM, the Maz Jobrani-led (Netflix) series LAUGH ON LORP, the preschool TV series BUDDY GATOR (based on the acclaimed online comic strip), and other in-production features/series including THE PIRATE PRINCESS, THUNDEROUS, HEY FUZZY YELLOW, and many more.Years prior to his successful exit of Curiosity Ink Media, Matt founded a variety of companies in the Kids & Family industry, including toys, games, and books. Originally a children's author, he grew his publishing house and spun off the company’s B2B arm to create PufferPrint, a global book-printing company which he ultimately sold in 2019.As the Founder & CEO of WilderWay Media, Cubberly leads creative development and production.  Understanding the importance - and substantially elevated financial returns - of building a “franchise” as opposed to a stand-alone property, Cubberly orchestrates story, character, heart, rewatchability, and merchandisability to create properties that are cross-platform, cross-demographic, that speak to human-truths, and forever leave audiences demanding more.
