ABOUT RYAN GERMAINE
Hi, I’m Ryan. Over conversations and 60 events have brought together Indigenous Tech founders, leaders, and change makers who are driving innovation in a vibrant 950+ member national non-profit community — the Indigenous Tech Circle. My mission is to ensure these initiatives have access to the opportunities, networks, and resources they need to create lasting impact.As Executive in Residence with Raven Indigenous Capital Partners, New Ventures BC, and Foresight Canada, I provide strategic advising that helps Indigenous-led businesses scale, secure investment, and thrive. My work blends ecosystem development with business storytelling, building trust and accelerating growth through meaningful partnerships.With a rich history in the Canadian innovation ecosystem, I’ve founded and led multiple Recruitment Tech and EdTech companies, developing marketplace platforms that connect talent with opportunity and grow engaged communities. These experiences have honed my expertise in go-to-market strategy, product-led growth, and partnership development, enabling me to bridge corporate innovation with Indigenous entrepreneurship.I collaborate with prominent tech companies, investors, and ecosystem partners to create spaces for dialogue, collaboration, and measurable results — because when Indigenous founders succeed, the entire economy becomes stronger and more inclusive.Let’s collaborate — whether through strategic partnerships, program development, investment, or new ventures, I’m committed to creating environments where Indigenous innovation thrives.Proud Métis (MNBC Citizen), with roots from Red River, and mixed settler [Ukrainian, British, and Doukhobor] family heritage.Core Skills & Focus AreasRelationship Building | Strategic Advising | Ecosystem Development | Executive Leadership | Partnerships | Venture Capital | Fundraising Strategy | Public Speaking | Events | Moderating | Facilitating | Community Engagement | Marketplaces | Mentoring Founders | Impact Investing | Due Diligence | Go-to-Market Strategy | SaaS Product Strategy | B2B Sales Strategy
