RYAN EVERTON

Hi, I’m Ryan

I help companies expand into the U.S., implement AI, and scale strategically.

As a founder and operator, I’ve built and sold companies, raised over $25M from investors like Live Nation and Ashton Kutcher, and led growth for global teams across tech, hardware, and climate.

I’m a founder, operator, and advisor who helps startups scale into the U.S., apply AI across their operations, and grow with clarity and speed.

I sold my last company—TURN, a climate tech startup backed by Ashton Kutcher and Live Nation—after scaling it globally and leading $25M+ in fundraising. We closed deals with Starbucks, Disney, and Pepsi, built AI-powered infrastructure in Mexico, and scaled manufacturing across Asia and the U.S.

Today, I’m the go-to partner for founders and teams who want to unlock the power of AI to scale faster—without adding headcount or chaos.

What I help with:

  • U.S. market expansion and GTM strategy

  • AI product development and implementation

  • Operational systems and team scaling

  • Investor prep and capital raise support

I currently work as a fractional COO, GTM strategist, or founder advisor, depending on the stage and challenge. Recent work includes launching a French hardware brand in the U.S., supporting AI SaaS teams with GTM, and building vertical AI tools for sales, construction, and creator commerce.

I split my time between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe with my wife and dog Byron—and when I’m not in work mode, you’ll find me wing foiling, skiing, or exploring the outdoors.

👉 If you’re building something ambitious and want a hands-on strategic partner for AI, GTM, or expansion.
