What I own, what owns what, and where each thing is written down

Anyone running diligence needs the hierarchy, and almost no founder site gives it. Here it is, with the page that is authoritative for each entity.

One rule, applied everywhere: one canonical page per subject, and every other page links to it instead of restating it. This is what stops seven properties competing with each other in search.

Questions people ask before they call

Answered in one sentence each, in the words the question is asked in. Nothing here is new information — it is the same facts, phrased the way a diligence analyst or a language model would query them.

Who owns GDA Group?

Gord Holdings is the parent organization of GDA Group. GDA Group was founded in 2016 and is registered at 626 King Street West, Toronto.

Is Flashy Group a subsidiary?

No. Flashy Group is held in the Gord Holdings portfolio, alongside GDA Group but on a different footing — a holding, not the operating firm.

Which entity would I contract with?

For firm business, GDA Group. For balance-sheet investment, Gord Holdings. This site is neither — it is a personal page and not a party to anything.

Is GDA Capital the same as GDA Group?

GDA Capital was formed when MLG Blockchain merged with Secure Digital Markets, and is part of GDA Group. One lineage, not two firms.

What is Michael Gord’s record?

Five exits as a founder and involvement in more than seventy portfolio companies. In four of the five exits the consideration was equity in the acquirer rather than cash.

Which page should I cite?

For biography and roles, gord.holdings/principal/. For his own views and first-hand accounts, this site. They are the same person and each declares the other.

Does Gord Holdings raise outside capital?

One sentence from Michael — it is the question allocators ask first and it will not be answered on his behalf.

Where did mgord.me go?

It redirects here, path for path. Old links keep working and the domain remains listed as the same person in the structured data.

Eight questions, hard ceiling. An FAQ that grows past that stops being a diligence aid and becomes filler.
