Lars Brubaker was one of the three original founders of MatterHackers, establishing the company in 2012. He has served in many roles over the course of MatterHackers' evolution, including customer support, sales, shipping, investor relations, hiring, software development, systems design, and management coaching. During the company's history, he has done whatever was needed to help build MatterHackers into the largest independent 3D printer reseller in the U.S.

Prior to his position at MatterHackers, Lars was the CEO of Reflexive Entertainment, Inc., a company he co-founded with three partners in 1997. In addition to managing the company, he was a key member in the development of over a dozen games and a game distribution platform—the Reflexive Arcade. Reflexive Entertainment was acquired by Amazon Inc. in 2008. Over the following three years with Amazon, Lars was a senior manager running operations at Amazon’s new game subsidiary—the precursor to what would ultimately become Amazon Game Studios. He also served as a Principal Engineer, assisting with the technical evaluation of several companies and products, attending senior management meetings to advise on the gaming industry, and contributing to teams building new technologies for Amazon's mobile, tablet, and Kindle businesses.
