“When product teams can explore and build 5x faster, the demand for research doesn't decrease. It increases.”
At Sprig
Ryan founded Sprig in 2019 and hosts its gatherings for research and insights leaders, from small dinners to the Experience Research Summits.
He started Sprig in 2019 and has grown it into a company backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Accel and First Round Capital, with $85M in funding.
As Group Product Manager, he helped grow the company through its $365M acquisition by Square.
Each startup he worked at before Sprig was acquired: Extrabux by Ebates, GraphScience by Centro, Vurb by Snapchat and Weebly by Square.
He began his career as Extrabux's first designer, then moved into product management at GraphScience, Vurb and Weebly before founding Sprig.
