Co-founder, Attain

Multiple-time founding team member and early-stage investor across marketplace and fintech startups—focused on building from zero to one at the intersection of product, go-to-market, analytics, and fundraising. Currently leading Attain, a US consumer fintech startup helping the next generation of homebuyers navigate money, credit, and housing with confidence. I also contribute to a fintech newsletter with 200K+ readers, curating insights and trends to help operators and investors stay ahead. Previously part of the founding investment team at Canada’s first at-scale pre-seed/seed VC, working with hundreds of startups and co-investors while helping build the firm’s platform. Earlier experience includes leading product at a Dallas-based fintech startup focused on AI-driven investment systems, reporting tools, and dashboards. Now based in Montreal, I am actively involved in the local startup ecosystem—helping organize community-led initiatives like Northstar, TechPoutine, Startup Drinks Montreal, Startup Open House, and Notman House.
