Act Two Investors

Founder Ryan Buchanan oversees all investment decisions, drawing on his experience as a two-time exited founder of eROI and Zapproved. He is supported by his wife and co-founder Monica Enand, who brings her own background in technology entrepreneurship. The office maintains a lean structure and does not disclose a separate investment committee.

The office relies heavily on Ryan Buchanan's personal network of Pacific Northwest founders, operators, and venture funds. Buchanan's long history in Portland's startup scene, including board roles with organizations like the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network, gives him early access to companies raising pre-seed and seed rounds. The firm also co-invests alongside local and national early-stage funds.
