Ryan Lynn
 
Founder, OuterLayer | AI at Michigan Ross
 
 

I've been building things since running garage sales as a kid and getting in trouble for reselling Wacky Packages to classmates in fourth grade. After seven years in corporate America — management consulting at Grant Thornton and enterprise SaaS sales at SS&C Intralinks, where I earned Top Performer of the Year — I left to build AI companies. Currently finishing my MBA with a concentration in AI at Michigan Ross (graduating May 2026).

Thanks for poking around RyanOS.

A few things about me that didn't fit
in the other windows:

- Grew up in an entrepreneurial household.
  Dad was a tech entrepreneur during the
  early internet days. Mom ran a home goods
  store on Main Street. Starting things
  was just normal in our house.

- Was the kid running garage sales and
  getting in trouble for reselling Wacky
  Packages to classmates in 4th grade.

- Spent 7 years in corporate America
  building the toolkit I knew I'd need.
  Grant Thornton -> SS&C Intralinks ->
  Michigan Ross MBA.

- The AI revolution was the moment I'd
  been waiting for. Couldn't not make
  the leap.

Some things I believe:
- Ship early, iterate often
- Enterprise doesn't have to mean slow
- The best products solve problems people
  didn't know they could solve
- Always be building
