We didn't sit on our hands and wonder what if.
We're Lifers. The kind of people who back themselves, take the risk, and get on with business.
Raeleen founded Mettro, a Brisbane digital agency, in 2001. Over 25 years and thousands of client projects, she's built one of Queensland's most respected digital businesses, written business books, and mentored hundreds of business owners along the way. Adam is a serial entrepreneur who has been building and selling businesses since before it was fashionable. During COVID, while most businesses were in damage control, he sold an e-commerce business for seven figures. That's not luck. That's knowing how to read a situation and move.
Together we founded Lifers, because that's what we are. People who have been in business long enough to know what works, what doesn't, and what the people selling you a shortcut have never actually tried themselves.
MateSuite came out of a real frustration. After decades of running real businesses, we kept getting bogged down in too many tasks, too many tools, and too many subscriptions that bundled seven hundred features together just to get to the ten we actually needed. We were paying for everything and using a fraction of it.
So we built the tools we actually needed. Not to sell software, but because we wanted to fix the problem. We wanted to make our businesses better, streamline how we worked, and give our teams what they needed to get things done without the overhead. We use every one of them in our own businesses every day.
Who this is for
It doesn't matter if you're an agency, a developer, a one-person operation, or a growing team. We built MateSuite for people in business and people working in businesses who are tired of carrying too much weight and getting too little back for it. That's part of the reason we moved away from subscriptions entirely. You use what you need. You pay for what you use. No more, no less.
The whole point of building a business is to build a life worth having. MateSuite is how we make sure the tools don't get in the way of that.
