Six years ago, I (Jon) made one of the biggest bets of my career.
I rebranded my company to Ryval Studios and made the decision to go all-in on sports content — a niche I believed in deeply, even though I had no idea where it would lead.
At the time, it felt risky. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
I’m incredibly honored to share that Ryval Studios has been named a finalist for the St. Louis Business Journal’s 2026 Fire Awards in the Startups Over 5 Years Old category.
Little did I know that six years after making that leap, Ryval would grow into one of the top sports production companies in the country.
This recognition is a reflection of the amazing people who have believed in Ryval, worked alongside us, trusted us with big moments and helped push this company forward.
Grateful for the journey, proud of how far we’ve come and more motivated than ever for what’s ahead.
Thank you to the St. Louis Business Journal for this honor!
