Ryan Bourque
"Ryan founded Sunnadin Capital to be a long-term, founder-aligned partner to owners of strong lower-middle-market businesses: operationally focused patient capital.
He brings a decade of experience across investing, capital markets, and operations. Most recently, Ryan invested in the lower middle market through independent-sponsor and private equity style transactions, including diligence and value-creation work on commercial and industrial services platforms.
Earlier, Ryan worked in equity finance and capital markets at the Bank of Montreal and Clear Street, where he structured financing for corporate and institutional clients and built the capital-allocation frameworks that shape how he invests today.
Ryan is an MBA candidate at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and holds a BA from Colgate University. Outside of work, he is a mentor to high school and college students and is an avid basketball player, golfer and hiker.
Our Name
The work beneath
stronger vessels.
The USS Sunnadin was a Navy tugboat stationed at Pearl Harbor through World War II, named for the Anglicized spelling of the Huron village Sunyendeand. While it wasn't a battleship or carrier, it was a small, unglamorous, and indispensable part of the larger fleet. For nearly twenty-five years it kept ships moving through the harbor, and on December 7, 1941, it was fastened to the side of the crippled cruiser Raleigh, helping keep a far larger battleship from going under.
That is the work we believe in. Sunnadin Capital does not chase the spotlight. We are a steady force beneath stronger vessels, providing the support, stability, and momentum that lets the rest of the fleet do what it was built to do.
Small by design. Essential by intent.
