Meet Our Founder
Ryan Wold, PhD
Founder & CEO
Ryan founded Tablmakr as an offshoot of his graduate dissertation research that explored how the technologies used to facilitate mentor programs affected the way people participated in mentor programs. After interviewing dozens of mentor program coordinators from all walks of life, he realized there was a problem that needed to be solved. So, with a grant from the University of Minnesota’s Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship, he launched Tablmakr.
(If you also like nerding out over mentor programs and emerging technologies you can read his dissertation here: Design, Business Models, and Embedded Values: Developing a mentor program management platform as a model of humane technology)
Prior to founding Tablmakr, Ryan ran the Twin Cities market for a real estate technology company and also has years of experience as a youth speaker and event facilitator. Ryan has an MA and PhD in Rhetoric and Scientific & Technical Communication from the University of Minnesota and a BA in Philosophy and Political Science from College of St. Benedict | St. John’s University.
When Ryan isn’t working on Tablmakr you can find him playing with his daughter Sophia, talking philosophy with his wife Britt, or teaching about technology and entrepreneurship at a university or senior living community near you.
