#193: Ryan Schreiber (Streamline) — The One-Stop Streaming Guide

18h ago 56:19

MP3•Episode home

Ryan Schreiber is a long-time Clevelander and major advocate for the city, as well as the founder and CEO of Streamline, an innovative mobile platform tackling one of the streaming industry's most pressing challenges—helping users navigate the increasingly fragmented world of content and entertainment, from sports to shows and movies, across over 200 streaming platforms.

With over $1.6 million in funding raised since founding the company earlier in 2024, Ryan is on a mission to transform how we discover and share content.

Before launching Streamline, Ryan played a pivotal role in building Vertical Knowledge—another Cleveland-based company that was recently acquired by Babel Street, a leading identity intelligence and risk operations company. Beyond entrepreneurship, Ryan was an investment banker with KeyBanc Capital Markets here in Cleveland after graduating with honors from Middlebury College in 2013. He is a Board Trustee at University School and captain of Spin for Stu—a cycling initiative that's raised nearly $1 million for cancer research.

In our conversation today, we'll explore Ryan's journey from finance to tech entrepreneurship, overcoming the fear of failure, delving into the problems Streamline is solving in the streaming landscape, and unpacking how the proverbial "Cleveland Chip" on Ryan's shoulder has shaped his approach to building a consumer technology company!
