    Polite Disruptors Canada

    Michael Montgomery

    Hey, I’m Michael. I’ve spent years building businesses—mostly in real estate. Some took off. Some went up in flames. (Metaphorically. No insurance claims were filed.) I’m no baller, but I also like to invest in early-stage Canadian tech companies because, let’s be honest, watching smart people build cool stuff is inspiring.

    I’m still figuring things out, but one thing I know for sure: people are everything. The conversations we have shape us, challenge us, and sometimes even change our entire worldview.

    Polite Disruptors is my way of chasing those conversations—deep, unfiltered, and with people who have something real to say.

    I’m based in Calgary, Alberta, and live on an acreage with my wife and two dogs—despite being the least handy acreage owner alive.
