Quick answers
Did Craig Schoen co-found VeriFast?
Yes. BetaKit (2022-09-19) reports: "The Toronto-based company was founded in 2019 by Craig Schoen and Chad Guziewicz, who currently serve as CTO and COO, respectively." The same article says the company originally operated under the name Rentify, focused on screening and identity verification for landlords, and that Tim Ray led its $250,000 pre-seed round in the fall of 2020, became CEO in October 2021 and joined as a co-founder.
What did Craig Schoen do before VeriFast?
No fetched page says. BetaKit (2022-09-19) gives only the founding role and the CTO title. A Quinte Economic Development Commission article (2020-09-09) on Rentify credits Chad Guziewicz with starting the company in the Bay of Quinte region and does not mention Schoen. Searches run on 2026-10-17 for interviews, podcasts or trade coverage naming Schoen returned nothing.
Has Craig Schoen spoken at TechTO?
No. VeriFast's person on the TechTO stage is Valerie Swatkow, its chief marketing officer, who hosted "Attributes of Safe & Connected Cities | Aviva Canada & Highline Beta" on 2022-04-08, then as chief development officer at Highline Beta.
Where is Craig Schoen based, and what is Schoen's role today?
BetaKit (2022-09-19) said Schoen was CTO at that time. Verifast's About page (verifast.com/company, read 2026-10-17) names no executives and the site has no team page, so no page read today states Schoen's current role; the header carries only the founder title. VeriFast is described as Toronto-based by BetaKit (2022-09-19) and by a company release of 2024-05-29, but no fetched page says where Schoen lives, so no city is recorded.
