Ryan WalianyCo Founder

United States - San Francisco, California

Serial entrepreneur, tech consultant, and startup advisor with 15+ years of experience building zero-to-one products. Highlights include founding a social cooking community featured by Apple as a “Best New App” and “App of the Day” (and selling product to a Japanese cooking school); co-founding and operationalizing a performance marketing company that reached 30M revenue per year; and bootstrapping a profitable mobile gaming company with 800M+ games played.

I am passionate about mentoring other entrepreneurs and helping startups with their growth strategies, particularly in evaluating their unit economics and finding scalable and repeatable distribution strategies. I’ve helped build ~20 products from scratch and seen six businesses go from zero to 1M+ in revenue. In the past, I’ve hired and mentored engineers, designers, and marketers, as well as taught hundreds of students at UC Berkeley and CMU as a student instructor.
