About Rypple
A crisis exists among the world’s 200 million managers: 85% receive no support when they transition into leadership roles, causing high failure rates and employee dissatisfaction. Ian Gover and the Rypple team aim to solve this by using AI to provide accessible leadership development tools and coaching to the “forgotten middle” — the oft-neglected cohort of middle managers.
