Ryan Merket

I work with high-potential startups at Microsoft, identifying and empowering top AI startups to achieve more. With over 12 years of experience in the tech industry, I have a track record of building and scaling innovative products, leading high-performing teams, and investing in promising ventures.

My passion is to help early-stage founders succeed by leveraging my expertise in AI, product, engineering, and growth. I have mentored and invested in multiple startups that have been acquired or raised funding, such as Teachable, Apostrophe, and Yumi. I also co-founded and led product at Jude AI, a platform that helps realtors close more leads and deals with the power of LLMs. I bootstrapped it to $1,000/MRR in 3 months before joining Microsoft for Startups.

Before moving back to Austin, TX, from the San Francisco Bay Area, I had early Product roles at Reddit and Facebook, where I learned how to scale and operate fast-growing organizations.
