Quick answers
Did Chad Guziewicz found VeriFast?
Yes. BetaKit (2022-09-19) reported that "The Toronto-based company was founded in 2019 by Craig Schoen and Chad Guziewicz," that it "originally operated under the name Rentify," and that Tim Ray, who led its fall 2020 pre-seed round, later joined as a co-founder and CEO. The Quinte Economic Development Commission (2020-09-09) wrote that "Chad Guziewicz started Rentify to help landlords and tenants more easily and safely find each other" in the Bay of Quinte region. Rentsync's Sync or Swim podcast (2021-06-16) introduces him as "co-founder of Rentify."
What is Chad Guziewicz's role at VeriFast today?
No current page names a present-day title. BetaKit (2022-09-19) described him as COO, and Real Estate Magazine (2021-05-06) quoted "Rentify CEO Chad Guziewicz." VeriFast's homepage, About and Company pages, read 2026-10-17, name no executives. The company's "Verifast Expands Leadership Team" post, dated 2026-01-25, names CEO Tim Ray, CMO Valerie Swatkow, Kevin Martin and Daniel Mireault but not Guziewicz, and its 2024-05-29 sales hiring release quotes Tim Ray as co-founder and CEO without mentioning him.
What did Chad Guziewicz do before VeriFast?
He was a landlord and then a software founder. On Rentsync's Sync or Swim podcast (2021-06-16) he said "I used to actually be a landlord" in Ontario, later sold the building, and moved into "a software business called tire wizard" serving the auto industry. He told Real Estate Magazine (2021-05-06) that credit checks miss the question that matters, whether tenants can pay rent each month, which is the gap Rentify was built to close.
Has Chad Guziewicz spoken at TechTO?
No. The VeriFast person in this directory who has taken a TechTO stage is Valerie Swatkow, who hosted TechTO's April 2022 Safe and Connected Cities demo day while at Highline Beta; VeriFast's 2026-01-25 post says she has since joined the company as Chief Marketing Officer. Guziewicz's public interviews are outside podcasts such as Rentsync's Sync or Swim (2021-06-16).
