Vetted Founders

“Sole founder of Bazaaro who built the company’s operations across product, hiring, GTM, finance, and investor relations—securing initial investment by effectively spanning multiple functions.

“Paid media specialist who managed high-spend multi-location gym franchise campaigns (Meta-heavy with Google Display support), cutting cost per lead from ~$25 to ~$5. Combines technical measurement (GTM/GA4 server-side + Meta CAPI) with customer-insight-driven copywriting and disciplined A/B testing, plus CRM/automation integrations (GoHighLevel, Zapier, Google Sheets) to reduce data loss and improve targeting.”

“Former account manager/collector at Allied Account Services who ran 150–200 outbound calls/day (95% contact rate) and negotiated payment plans through an empathy-led, consultative approach. Also a solo e-commerce founder who launched a Shopify store and drove measurable growth (+55% traffic, +20% conversion, 120% monthly revenue growth in 3 months) and has been simulating SDR workflows in HubSpot with multi-channel outreach and automation/AI.”

“Private Equity Secondaries Analyst (Series 7) who founded and launched the Canadian Student-Athlete Association during the pandemic while in university, playing varsity football, and running a window glass business.
