Quick answers
Did Ivan Gritsiniak co-found Clearco?
Yes. Clearbanc's rebrand release on Newswire.ca dated April 20, 2021, checked 2026-09-20, says the company was "Co-founded as Clearbanc in 2015 by Michele Romanow from Canada's Shark Tank (Dragons' Den), Andrew D'Souza, Ivan Gritsiniak, Charlie Feng, and Tanay Delima."
What does Clearco do, and where is it based?
Clearbanc's rebrand release on Newswire.ca dated April 20, 2021, checked 2026-09-20, says the company was "Co-founded as Clearbanc in 2015" and describes its product as "marketing growth capital from $10K-$10M for growing ecommerce founders" on a 20-minute term sheet, plus an inventory product repaid "as it sells through for cost + 6%." The release carries a NEW YORK and TORONTO dateline.
What was his title at the company?
No page we fetched states a title for him beyond co-founder. Aggregator listings describe him as VP of Finance, but we could not confirm that on a fetched primary or press source, so only the co-founder title is published here.
Is he still at Clearco?
Not according to the company. Clearco's own about-us page at clear.co/about-us, checked 2026-09-20, lists Andrew Curtis as CEO and names only Andrew D'Souza and Michele Romanow as co-founders on its board; Gritsiniak does not appear on it. We have no fetched source for his present-day role, so none is claimed here.
