About us
Entrepreneurs who got tired of waiting on financing.
Diamond Ridge is a group of successful entrepreneurs working to fix the gap where traditional financing takes too long or comes with too much red tape.
Our story
Every one of us has been on the other side of the table. We have waited on approvals that took too long, filled out paperwork that didn’t fit our deals, and watched good opportunities slip away while the process caught up. Having experienced those difficulties ourselves, our group came together to help solve the problem for other entrepreneurs, property owners and businesses.
Our mission
To give Canadian entrepreneurs a faster, more practical path to capital, with decisions made by people who understand what it takes to build something.
Many industries, one table
We believe there is almost always a creative way to make a good deal work. That is why it helps to have members from a wide range of industries involved in Diamond Ridge: each deal gets looked at from several angles, and different experience often uncovers a structure a single lender would miss.
Creative structuring means we look for a path forward; it is not a guarantee of approval or funding.
Why work with us
Fast funding
Deals are reviewed by our members directly, so we aim for decisions in days, not months, and funds can move quickly once terms are agreed.
Less red tape
We look at the whole picture: the deal, the security, the plan and the people, not just a rigid checklist.
We’ve been there
