Jordan Ritter (born February 1, 1978) is an American serial entrepreneur, software architect and angel investor. He is best known for his work at Napster, the file-sharing service he co-founded along with Shawn Fanning and others. His time at Napster was documented in Joseph Menn’s book All the Rave: The Rise and Fall of Shawn Fanning’s Napster and Alex Winter’s film Downloaded.

Since Fanning initially refused to allow inspection of the source code, members took this as a challenge and began reverse-engineering various aspects of the service. Ritter and fellow w00w00 member Seth McGann focused on the protocol and backend software, identifying bugs and proposing likely fixes to Fanning, while w00w00 member Evan Brewer managed the system that the server ran on. In early June 1999, Fanning asked Ritter to fully take over development of the server while Fanning focused on the Windows client. Two months later, Yosi Amram invested $250,000 in Napster and required that company operations relocate from Massachusetts to California. Ritter moved to Silicon Valley in September 1999, initially sharing an apartment with Fanning and Sean Parker at the San Mateo Marriott Residence Inn.

While working for BindView, Ritter met Shawn Fanning online through an IRC channel for computer hackers called #!w00w00. In May 1999, Fanning began soliciting Ritter and several other w00w00 members for help.
