Ryz Labs is a hybrid venture studio and human capital agency founded in 2021. The firm operates across Latin America and the United States, developing startups from scratch while also sourcing elite technical talent from the region for its portfolio companies and external clients. Its founders are serial entrepreneurs with prior experience at Amazon and Lyft.
The company's venture-building approach draws on Amazon's "Working Backwards" methodology and MIT's "Disciplined Entrepreneurship" framework. This systematic process has produced portfolio companies including HipTrain, a wellness coaching marketplace that has facilitated over 15,000 sessions, and Offsiteio, a startup on track for more than $1 million in revenue. Ryz Labs spent its first year in stealth mode before scaling operations.
Beyond its own ventures, Ryz Labs functions as a human capital agency, placing Latin American technical talent with startups and technology companies. The firm's dual model - building companies internally while staffing them externally - positions it at the intersection of venture building and technology recruitment across the Americas.
