They didn’t give him a seat at the table, so he built the table.

He couldn’t get funding.

So he built a fund.

Rodrigo grew up in Montreal.

Typical 90s immigrant kid.

- Tight budgets.

- Big dreams.

He learned early

how to stretch a dollar.

What he didn’t learn

was how to access capital.

So when he fell in love

with real estate,

he hit the same wall

too many dreamers face:

Money moves slower

when your last name

isn’t on the list.

But Rodrigo’s mind?

Built different.

Instead of begging for a seat,

he built the whole table.

Today?

He’s a fund manager

with $17M AUM

helping working professionals

build passive wealth

using their registered funds.

It’s not flashy.

It’s not fast.

But it’s real.

And it’s working.

Rodrigo’s still raising capital.

Still building trust.

Still weathering the market.

But now

he does it with power.

Because he stopped asking permission.

When did you stop waiting

for someone to say yes?
