“In the 10 years I’ve worked with Ryan, I've gotten to know him as a hard-working strategic thinker who doesn't back down from a challenge. Ryan would add immeasurable value to any startup. He's such a natural connector that his network rivals that of much larger firms.

‍

When it came time to raise money for my company, I jumped at the opportunity to have Ryan on the cap table.“

“Even as an angel, Ryan is a value-add investor. He continually leans in to help where he can from being a sounding board to making key introductions for potential partnerships.

Ryan has also been critical in helping find the right future capital partners as our business continues to grow. I’m excited to see the impact he will have as he focuses 100% of his energy on investing in startups.”

“I've known Ryan for over seven years, since he was a key player in building Peloton. Ryan's vision, leadership, and execution skills were instrumental in the company's success. Now, I'm thrilled to see Ryan transition to the world of venture capital with Cade Ventures. His experience as an operator gives him a unique edge in understanding the challenges and opportunities faced by early-stage companies.

I've been incredibly impressed with the progress Cade Ventures has made, including securing allocations in highly competitive deals, which speaks volumes about their deal flow, network, and ability to identify promising startups. Cade Ventures will be a force to be reckoned with in the early-stage venture landscape.”

“Ryan is a builder at heart. He is relentless, extremely talented, and customer obsessed. He's the type of investor that founders appreciate in the hardest and in the best times.

much more than capital; they’re a value-added operational support firm.

From the outset, Ryan and his team have been incredibly responsive and strategically insightful as Function Health grows. Their world-class operator network is a game-changer. Even before investing, Cade Ventures introduced us to four highly beneficial operators within their network.”

His dedication, strategic thinking, and hustle were instrumental in building the company into the success it is today.Now, as Ryan transitions to early-stage investing with Cade Ventures, I'm thrilled to be a Limited Partner in the fund.
