Ryan Waddington Headshot

Making magic happen in the financial world for a solid two decades, Ryan is an investing maestro. From pre-seed investments to private equity, he’s been knocking it out of the park, steering a whopping $200M towards the success of over 40 tech companies. But he’s not your run-of-the-mill investor. Ryan is the brains behind Huron River Ventures, a seriously impressive early-stage venture firm that he kick-started back in 2010. HRV is all about investing primarily in Midwest-based enterprise software companies in the energy, mobility, manufacturing, agriculture and healthcare sectors. But Ryan’s got more tricks up his sleeve. He’s also the founder, partner, and COO of Halo Growth Ventures, a unique private equity platform that’s making its mark. Talk about a stellar track record! Even when he was earning his MBA, he flexed his brain muscles participating in the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise. Ryan is legit and so is his zest for building sustainable businesses.
