Managing Director, Life Sciences

Ryan Kaeding

Ryan Kaeding joined Trinity Capital as a Managing Director on our Life Sciences team, and is based in our San Diego, CA office. Ryan, a veteran in the venture ecosystem, has been supporting venture capital-backed and publicly-traded growth stage life sciences companies for over 20 years.

Ryan joins Trinity following 12 years of healthcare investment banking experience, most recently as a Managing Director at Raymond James and 10 years at Piper Sandler.

He has completed over 70 healthcare transactions, spanning sell-side and buy-side M&A, IPOs, public and private financings, structured financings, divestitures, spin-offs, converts and debt financings.

Ryan is a proud North Dakota native but enjoys living in Southern California with his wife, two dogs, and two cats.  He enjoys hiking with the dogs, traveling the globe, playing golf and tennis, and reading. Antarctica is on the travel list to visit for the final continent.

Brown’s 30 years of experience in venture equity and venture debt is apparent in his ability to adeptly manage sales and strategic business operations working with early-stage companies.

He served as general partner at Point Financial Capital Partners, a venture leasing fund and held a prior role as the president and CFO of InvestLinc Financial Services, an early-stage private equity fund and consulting firm. He has also worked as a partner at Cornerstone Equity Partners, a private equity fund.

Background
Brown has a B.S. in business administration and marketing from McNeese State University and is a current Small Business Investor Alliance – Western Regional Committee member.

Growing up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana left a lasting impression on Brown. He is an avid LSU fan and loves a good bowl of spicy gumbo on a cold day.
