We are thrilled to announce that our founder and managing partner, Kathy Lintz, has been named a finalist for the Entrepreneur of the Year® 2025 Heartland Award. This honor recognizes leaders who are redefining industries, creating lasting value and making a meaningful difference in their communities. Kathy joins a select group of 30 entrepreneurs from the Heartland region, which spans Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and the Dakotas.
For over three decades, Kathy has led Matter Family Office with a people-first philosophy that reshapes how families manage wealth. Matter Family Office’s integrated approach—spanning investment management, wealth planning and Family Culture & Learning services—helps ultra-high-net-worth families preserve financial assets while fostering personal and collective legacies that thrive across generations.
“Being named a finalist for the Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 Heartland Region is a meaningful acknowledgment of the work we do at Matter Family Office,” said Kathy. “This recognition highlights our commitment to helping families navigate the complexities of wealth with clarity, purpose and confidence. I’m proud of how our team continues to redefine what it means to be a true partner for families—helping them build legacies that last for generations.”
Kathy’s leadership has positioned Matter as a “forever company,” built on perpetual capital and long-term relationships. Her vision challenges the transactional nature of traditional wealth management, placing an emphasis on human resource development and family governance alongside financial strategy.
Finalists for the Entrepreneur of the Year® 2025 Heartland Award were selected by an independent panel of judges based on criteria such as entrepreneurial spirit, purpose growth and impact. Regional winners will be announced June 19, in Minneapolis. Winners advance to the national program, with awards presented at the Strategic Growth Forum® in November.
