MEET THE LINDA MAR TEAM

Ephraim Esson

Ephraim Esson is from Denver, Colorado, and moved out to the Bay Area to attend Santa Clara University. Recently, he graduated with a bachelor's in Computer Science and Engineering and uses a heavily data-driven approach to source founders that others might look over. At his work at Linda Mar Ventures, he oversees investor relations and day to day operations to help ensure our founders get the support and resources they need.

While not at work, Ephraim enjoys fly-fishing, surfing, and playing guitar.

Ryan Quinn

Co-Founder

Ryan’s first leap into entrepreneurship came in middle school, when he launched his first company at age 13. Soon after, he began investing in the stock market and eventually moved into angel investing. From that first venture forward, he’s been fascinated by the mechanics of building and scaling organizations.
