Hey there! I'm Aly, a Canadian-based entrepreneur, investor and advisor who has spent over a decade building, investing and advising companies. I've had the opportunity to build both bootstrapped and venture-backed companies, learning a ton along the way!
Throughout my journey, helping people grow has been the most rewarding aspect of my career, and I'd like to extend my experience to a broader audience. If we have the chance to meet, I promise to do my best to provide you with incredible impact and dedication to your success.
A bit about my journey...
While I started as a kinesiology and psychology major, I quickly realized that the clinical world wasn't my calling. Nonetheless, my desire to help people led me to a career in banking, on both retail innovation teams at a top-3 Canadian bank. During my tenure in banking, I co-founded a not-for-profit tech accelerator, a first of its kind at the time, blended social impact, private/public capital, and startup programming to reinvent libraries as innovation hubs in local communities.
After seven years in banking, I left to join a startup as the first employee. We built a D2C insurance marketplace, which was acquired early in our journey. I then helped grow the company who acquired us to $100M+ in revenues before departing in 2016 to launch Finaeo, a venture-backed next-generation digital ecosystem for the life insurance industry. I've served as its CEO for the past seven years. My journey has been unique, operating through COVID, expanding a business across borders, raising capital, hiring/firing, and much more.
Now, I'm a full time investor and advisor, helping others!
Apart from business, I'm a proud father of two (a girl and a boy), an avid basketball player/coach, and a sneakerhead. You can often find me playing chess in the park while sporting my favourite Jordans, of course!
5 out of 5 stars
Aly has been an incredible mentor throughout my startup journey. He doesn’t just give advice—he challenges my thinking, helps me see blind spots, and pushes me to make sharper decisions. His insights have shaped how I approach growth, strategy, and resilience as a founder. I wouldn’t be where I am without his guidance.

It's a pure joy working with Aly! Every conversation had so much depth and left me thinking for good! :D Very practical tactics on how to approach problems especially when you're just starting out on an entrepreneurial journey. I would like to thank him so much for his encouragement and kindly sharing his lessons with me and sometimes this is all we need to hear a story and understand we're not alone on our journeys and we're really all in the same place. I'm happy we made it work despite the 11 time zones haha I strongly recommend Aly as a mentor and will come back.
