ARI DITKOFSKY - LEAD SEARCHER
A proud son, brother, husband and father to three beautiful children, I also happen to be a serial entrepreneur with an abundance of passion and energy. I previously founded, scaled, and successfully exited a B2B2C business in just over eight years, demonstrating hands-on expertise in business development, operations, sales, and strategic growth.
Since my exit, I have focused on real estate investing, lending and providing mortgage finance services through A.D. Mortgage, a top producing practise, licensed with Dominion Lending Centres, honing my skills in client relationship management and financial structuring.
Since launching A.D. Venture Fund, I've returned to my roots as an operator, focusing on acquiring and scaling one business with strong fundamentals. I'm not just seeking an investment; I'm after an exciting venture where I can roll up my sleeves, apply my expertise, passion, and energy, and propel an established company to new heights.
