Connelly Group of Companies
Ron Connelly established the firm after careers as a bush pilot and exhibition entrepreneur. He built and sold operating companies before concentrating family capital in Ottawa real estate and selective private investments. The office owns multiple Ottawa properties including Moodie Square, 950 Gladstone Avenue and 2780 Sheffield Road. It pursues early-stage opportunities in EdTech, GovTech and Industrial Tech while running a dedicated crypto strategy under Jon Connelly. Geographic focus remains North America with all holdings and advisory work centered in Canada. Capital is deployed via direct ownership, SPVs and internal incubation rather than external fund commitments. The team includes CFO Robert Sandor and senior executive Bob Morais. No additional offices exist outside Ottawa. Ron Connelly has served on boards of the Ottawa Construction Association and OCRI. The family maintains separation between investment activities and philanthropic work through the Youth Services Bureau SleepOUT program.
