Founded by David Dickey, a former trades business owner himself, Canopy Capital was born from a simple yet powerful idea: trades professionals deserve investment strategies as robust and reliable as the work they do.
David Dickey's journey from a dairy farm in central Minnesota to founding Canopy Capital is a testament to the power of entrepreneurial spirit and the value of hands-on experience.
Growing up on a dairy farm, David learned the importance of hard work, consistency, and adaptability from an early age. These values, combined with his Mechanical Engineering background, laid the foundation for his unique approach to financial strategies for trades-based businesses.
In 2017, David took his first step into entrepreneurship, igniting a passion that would eventually lead him to the world of venture capital and investment. His experience with his first company taught him the invaluable lesson of the power of connections in accomplishing successful projects.
David's journey in the investment world began with a single project, which opened doors to excellent connections and inspired him to dive deeper. Joining groups like Raise Masters, he expanded his network and knowledge, ultimately leading to the creation of Canopy Capital.
Today, David lives in Fargo, ND, with his wife and seven children. His large family has only reinforced his belief in the importance of building sustainable wealth and creating lasting financial security.
At Canopy Capital, David combines his engineering mindset, entrepreneurial experience, and deep understanding of trades-based businesses to create innovative financial strategies. His approach is rooted in the belief that true financial success comes from connecting the right people with the right opportunities.
David's advice to aspiring entrepreneurs and investors? "Join a group that will offer mentorship. Don't be afraid to spend money on your personal growth. Engage with others who will challenge you and expand your growth mindset. Your investment in yourself will yield the greatest returns."
