Rhu Hashemi
Updated Jan 21, 2026
I was born in Canada and now live in Toronto, Canada.
I studied at Carleton University where I started with Accounting (dropped it) then graduated with Economics in 2017.
I founded Carsify, an e-commerce used car startup. I drove it into the ground, the unit economics sucked. From there, I joined FirePower Capital as an Analyst, cold calling founders and learning the M&A game.
I then joined WeCommerce as VP of Acquisitions, employee #3 after their spin-off from Tiny Capital. I led our M&A team of one (aka me!).
After a sabbatical studying various disciplines, I founded Day Zero Holdings, my private investment holdings.
Currently advising at Scaleworks, where we acquire $4m-$20m ARR B2B software companies globally.
