Forbes Coaches Council InfluencerForbes Coaches Council May 2023 - PresentBoston, Ma, UsI write for Forbes to inform and educate founders on the challenges that they will encounter when raising institutional capital and how to mitigate them.Founder-led companies deliver better shareholder returns by orders of magnitudes when compared to their counterparts.

Founder, Ceo, And ChairmanPractice Fusion Jan 2005 - Sep 2015San Francisco, Ca, UsConceived, founded, and scaled the largest and fastest growing Electronic Health Record platform in the US, which serves over 110 million patients and has facilitated more than 1 billion patient visits since it’s inception. Brought the company to a $50M run rate with a $700M valuation and raised over $200M of capital from a group of world-class angel, venture, strategic, and private equity investors (Band of Angels, Felicis Ventures, SV Angel, Founder's Fund, Kleiner Perkins, Battery Ventures, WTI Qualcomm, Orbimed and Deerfield). Disrupted the digital health market by bringing the first ever enterprise software product to market for free and offered it to doctors. Created a new paradigm for monetizing electronic health records via connectivity to the Practice Fusion platform (from pharmacies, labs, and imagining centers), the analysis and sale of patient de-identified data, Population Health Management, and media solutions targeted to physicians, and scaled the company through massive revenue growth (Stanford case study: https://goo.gl/mm3Dst).Crafted an inspirational and aspiration mission and core values (Connecting doctors, patients, and data to drive better health and save lives). The result was an award-winning culture that was consistently ranked one of the top 20 best places to work in Bay Area.After leaving the company in 2015, the subsequent management team partnered with an opioid manufacturer and leveraged the platform to encourage doctors on the platform to prescribe opioids to patients. Based on this experience, Ryan now teaches and partners with social entrepreneurs to ensure that their companies are not corrupted and can achieve the social impact they originally intended (more here: https://t.ly/leA4). -
