Ryan TarzyFounder

United States - Irvine, California

I am Founder and CEO of Avandra Imaging, focused on advancing health research and innovation by unlocking imaging and multi-modal data.

I am passionate about working with first-time founders to create successful companies and achieve their dream. After 20 years as a founder or executive at 6 startups, I am now focused on helping other founders as an investor, coach, and/or advisor.

I invest in early stage companies led by first-time founders. To date I have have made 8 investments and am focusing my investment in Digital Health, AI/ML, and eSports.

Previously, I co-founded and led three startups and been part of $1.4B exit.

My initial training was as a strategy consultant with Bain & Company but being an entrepreneur and investor/advisor/mentor is where I've found my talents and passions meet.

Outside of work, I pursue many other interests and passions including winemaking, sports, travel, scuba diving, skiing, and all things technology.

Lastly I'm also very interested in social justice issues, particularly heath equality.
