My name is Ryan Swagar. I have lived in Scottsdale, Arizona for almost twelve years ‘geeking out’ as a serial entrepreneur, digital media maniac, investor, connector, blogger, startup advisor, social enthusiast and web 2.0 Evangelist.

My personal mantra is “hit it clean.” This applies in all aspects of life, from the tee box to the execution of a strategic plan. I only play in the circles of those with the highest integrity. My philosophy is “FUCK UP FAST”. Doing the deed is more than half the battle. If you mess up, fix it quickly and get back on track.

I am currently the CEO and Co-Founder of the Republic Project (a stealth music technology company).  In addition, I am a General Partner of Venture 51.

My personal interests include golf, music, skiing, concerts and good beer and hanging out with my beautiful wife.
