Ryan Chow

I'm a founder of Metalware, a cybersecurity company backed by $8m from Crosspoint, Haystack, YC, and others. Before that, I worked at SpaceX on Falcon and Starlink.

I support startups with tiny angel checks. A few examples: Ligo Biosciences, Astro Mechanica, Turion Space.

Outside of work, I'm usually training for some physical challenge—recently, an Ironman 70.3 and, before that, a 50-mile ultramarathon. I also like snowboarding and traveling.

I grew up in Maryland and currently live in SF.
