About me
Hi, I’m Ryan Everton.
I studied law but never practiced — instead, I became a repeat founder, investor, and operator at the intersection of AI, climate, real estate, and lifestyle assets.
I founded and sold TURN, a climate tech company backed by Ashton Kutcher and Live Nation, used by Starbucks, Disney, and Chick-fil-A. After scaling TURN across the U.S., Europe, and Australia, I now build and back companies in AI, climate tech, and e-commerce while investing in real estate and short-term rentals.
Today my work spans:
AI product building — investor in Build Pilot, Scotty, Slide Whisper, and robotics ventures
Climate technology — founder of sustainable fashion business SEWN
Amazon & supply chain — e-commerce growth and manufacturing across China & Mexico
Real estate & STRs — Airbnb operator with expertise in tax-efficient investing
Lifestyle & adventure — wing foiling, global travel, and building businesses that fit life
Market entry — helping founders expand into Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S.
At my core, I’m building ventures and assets that balance impact, profitability, and lifestyle. If you’re exploring short-term rentals, climate tech, wing foiling, Amazon growth, AI product building, or entering Australia, I’d be glad to share what I’ve learned.
