Andrew Curtis is the CEO of Clearco, the Toronto-based fintech that fronts cash to ecommerce brands without taking their equity. A two-decade Wall Street veteran of leveraged credit and restructurings - with stops at Merrill Lynch and Lazard Freres - he arrived as an advisor in 2022, took the top job in early 2023, and steered the once-troubled company through a recapitalization and a ground-up rebuild. Under him, Clearco has deployed billions across thousands of brands, tripled funding in 2024, and relaunched a platform he pitches as 'capital that thinks like a founder.'
