He understands both sides of the funding equation – having raised M across three companies and now helping others navigate the same challenges. His weekly "Founder Fridays" sessions have become legendary in Toronto's startup scene.

Dr. Elena Vasquez

Elena spent twelve years at Wharton researching venture capital markets before joining Onlineramquino. Her published research on Canadian startup ecosystems is cited in over 200 academic papers. She's currently working on a book about equity crowdfunding trends, set to publish in late 2025.

Our Story Started With Frustration

Back in 2020, Sarah was watching brilliant Canadian startups struggle to find investors while qualified investors couldn't discover these hidden gems. Traditional networks were broken – too exclusive, too slow, too expensive.

That's when our founders decided to build something different. Not just another investment platform, but a complete ecosystem where startups could learn, prepare, and connect with the right investors at the right time.
