Overview
Roadster Capital is led by Ryan Else, MBA. An operator turned investor with a 15+ year background spanning enterprise sales, industrial markets, and frontier technologies including AI, automation, and security. Before launching the fund, Ryan held leadership roles across enterprise software, security, and industrial businesses, including serving as GM of North America at Oregon Scientific and leading go-to-market and enterprise sales functions across multiple technology companies.
Ryan's investment track record is anchored by two SPVs he led:
PsiQuantum — Led at a $250M valuation. Now at Series E with a $7B valuation, generating 9.16x MOIC and 3.75x DPI with the remaining position held for an anticipated IPO.
xLight — Led at an $8.5M valuation. Currently on track for a $1.5B valuation.
Combined, these portfolio companies have raised $1.5B+ in follow-on capital.
After nearly two decades working in this space, Ryan built Roadster Capital around a clear focus: backing companies modernizing the industrial base. The $5M seed-stage fund invests in deep technology startups and engineering-driven founders building critical infrastructure across defense, manufacturing, logistics, advanced computing, and applied AI, reflecting Ryan's experience operating inside the industries now being reshaped by frontier tech.
