Ryan Panchadsaram is a prominent figure in the world of venture capital, having made a name for himself with Kleiner Perkins as an investor in innovative startups like Tia, SpinLaunch, and ASAPP. But his path is far from typical. Before joining the private sector, Panchadsaram held various roles in politics and public service, including serving as the Deputy Chief Technology Officer of the United States. In that position, he spearheaded the launch of the U.S. Digital Service, helped implement the Open Data Executive Order, and coordinated data requests during the Ebola epidemic. Panchadsaram's mission has always been to make government more effective, data-driven, and design-centric, and he now brings that same ethos to his investments. With his diverse background and broad skill set that includes product development, crisis response, and innovation management, Panchadsaram is a force to be reckoned with in the venture capital world.
