Founder & Developer
Ryan Larson
As a former U.S. Marine Corps Electronic Repair Technician and DoD Systems Expert with 10+ years developing enterprise solutions across defense, aerospace, and energy sectors, I've witnessed firsthand how fragmented communication and networking tools fail when precision matters most.
My experience leading the development of iLauncher—a GOTS software platform enabling AI/ML workflows on DoD HPC systems—taught me that the most powerful innovations happen when you combine intelligent automation with human-centered design. This insight, backed by 4 published research papers and multi-industry technical expertise spanning Lockheed Martin Space Systems to Schlumberger, drives my mission to revolutionize how professionals connect and collaborate.
I'm building Prospectre because the event networking industry is broken. Business cards get lost, valuable connections slip through the cracks, and 90% of conference networking happens by random chance rather than strategic design. My military training in mission-critical systems and enterprise software development uniquely positions me to create the AI-powered platform that transforms chaotic networking into measurable business outcomes.
When technical precision meets entrepreneurial vision, breakthrough solutions emerge. That's what Prospectre represents—the next evolution of professional networking, built by someone who understands both complex systems and real-world business challenges.
