Timothy Ryan is a repeat founder who built and sold a health-tech startup, helped launch crypto exchange DCEX funded by Ripple Labs, and was a founding go-to-market team member at Zepp Labs (a sports wearables company that reached $15M ARR), before running his own AngelList fund MLC Ventures where he personally negotiated $100k-$500k+ term sheets. At Vibe Capital, he combines this rare operator-turned-GP experience with deep involvement in early technical communities like Discords and hacker houses to find frontier founders in AI, Web3, and deep tech before they become obvious bets.
