About
Patrick Riley serves as both CEO of GAN, which oversees a global network of independent accelerators, and Co-founder and Managing Partner of GAN Ventures, giving him a dual perspective as both operator and investor. He brings an unusually cross-functional background from leading operations at the American Red Cross and running West Coast sales for a Techstars-backed company, and is known for his focus on founders' mental health support and belief in building long-term trust through consistent founder updates rather than one-off pitches.
