Omar Dhalla works more like an operator than a typical pre-seed investor—he built go-to-market, raised venture rounds, and was the first person on the ground in Ontario for both Real Ventures and Element AI, where he led Solutions, Strategy, and Corporate Development to bring AI to enterprise partners. He now describes himself as an AI Operator & Investor at N49P, reflecting a background that mixes hands-on company building with investing rather than a standard venture capital path.
