Jamie Ryan

Bio

Jamie Ryan spent nearly 15 years in Silicon Valley as an in vitro diagnostics innovator and technology scout, addressing the world’s most pressing problems. From creating tests for diseases such as swine flu and COVID-19 pandemics to drug-resistant “superbugs,” she learned that the path from prototype to market is full of surprises. Evaluating 100+ MedTech startups as a subject matter expert in strategic business development, mentoring, and pitch judging showed her that many of these “surprises” can be anticipated - and addressed - if you know where to look.

She started JL Ryan Consulting LLC to improve medical device startup success rates by identifying and addressing risks early, before costly pivots are needed. She shares her feasibility-to-exit insights with early-stage entrepreneurs, empowering them to see the risks before investors do.
