Ralph Ruan Email & Phone Number

As a Co-Founder and Operating Partner at Erupture, a angel network that invests in early-stage startups, I leverage my skills in new business development, hospitality, and communication to identify and support promising entrepreneurs. I have been working in this role for over a year and a half, alongside being the Social Chair at Berkeley Core Consulting Group, a student-run consulting organization that provides strategic solutions to social impact clients. In addition, I volunteer as a Counselor at Accounting Career Awareness Program (ACAP) SF Bay Area, a program that exposes high school students from underrepresented backgrounds to the accounting profession. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a BS in Business Administration, Management and Operations, and completed a certificate in Entrepreneurship & Technology from UC Berkeley College of Engineering, and an online course from Harvard Business School. I have also received multiple honors and certifications, including the Tri-College Student Pitch Competition Second Place and the Dr. Linda Rillorta Sociology Scholarship. I am passionate about creating positive social change through innovation and collaboration, and I aspire to become a leader in the venture capital industry.
