Ryan Pace
Title: Co-founder, CEO
Company: Involio
Age: 22
Ryan Pace cofounded Scottsdale-based social investing platform Involio in 2022 after noticing that Gen Z was turning to TikTok, Instagram and Reddit for financial insights rather than traditional investing platforms.
Involio allows users to share their capital allocation, investments, trades, and strategies with others.
“I wanted to create a platform where every trade a user shares cannot be deleted, so you can actually see who the top traders are around the world, allowing the average consumer to know exactly what they’re paying for and making it easier for top traders to monetize their knowledge,” he said.
Since its inception, Involio has raised $1.6 million in funding and surpassed more than 125,000 users.
The company plans to integrate a decentralized exchange to build what it describes as the largest cryptocurrency trading platform in the world. Users will be able to find top-performing investors and join the same trades they share on the platform with one click, Pace said.
“The most rewarding aspect of [operating Involio] is watching people from around the world — who have no prior trading or investing experience — start to make life changing money through Involio,” he said.
