Hey, I’m Ryan Bednar — founder, programmer, and investor at Orange Collective.

Over the years, I’ve built and scaled multiple startups, leveraging my expertise in SEO and growth to help companies like Calm, Zapier, Rippling, and Shutterstock accelerate their success.

I’m currently a General Partner at Orange Collective, where I invest in and support high-growth founders. Previously, I was the CEO of RankScience (W17), Co-founder of Tutorspree (W11), and the first employee at SeatGeek — now valued at over $1B.

I’m passionate about building technology, empowering founders, and creating tools that drive real impact.
