About Michele Romanow

Canada’s Billion-Dollar Builder
Michele Romanow is a true Canadian unicorn — a tech titan who co-founded Clearco, the world’s largest e-commerce investor. Under her leadership, Clearco grew into a billion-dollar company that invested more than $5 billion into 10,000+ businesses across 13 countries. Named one of Fortune’s 40 Under 40, a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, and Canada’s Angel Investor of the Year, Michele has become one of the most influential entrepreneurs of her generation. Alongside Richard Branson, she also co-founded the Canadian Entrepreneurship Initiative to inspire a more ambitious and inclusive culture of entrepreneurship.

Before turning 35, Michele had already launched six companies, from Buytopia.ca (which acquired ten competitors) to SnapSaves (acquired by Groupon). She founded The Tea Room, Canada’s first zero-waste coffee shop, earned Queen’s University’s highest honor, built a commercial fishery, and went on to serve as the youngest Dragon on CBC’s Dragons’ Den. Today, she continues to lead, invest, and advise Fortune 100 companies and governments on innovation, AI, and the future economy, while serving as a director for global brands like Vail Resorts and Queen’s School of Business.
