| Hi, I'm Ryan |
I am a founder, bioengineer, and flying/index based in Berkeley, CA and Brooklyn, NY.
I spent ten years building Perfect Day, a consumer biotechnology company that pioneered a way to make Nature-identical milk proteins without animals, using fermentation. After setting the company up for long-term success, I exited Perfect Day in 2023. The first manufacturing plant is on track to be live in late 2026 or early 2027.
You can read more about my founding story, some snapshots of the journey, and the latest.
What I'm up to now
I am an Executive in Residence at Stanford University, where I'm helping projects in the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator to incorporate, scale, and reach impactful goals in the real world.
I am a Board Director at New Harvest, a 501(c)3 charity dedicated to the advancement of cellular agriculture.
I also advise several other companies at different stages of the startup/corporate life cycle. If you would like to work with me, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Together with my wife, I'm building a new company inventing the future of retail, called (for now) Sejour. It's totally different than Perfect Day, and I'm loving the adventure!
In my free time, I'm learning Hindi, working on my commercial pilot's license, endlessly tinkering with my homelab, and finding fun recipes to cook. I aspire to get better at producing music, but am still way at the bottom of the learning curve.
