They didn’t give Rodrigo 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.
