About

From the back of an ambulance to the front of the camera.

Brandon Kokoski is a Canadian entrepreneur and media personality based in Toronto.

He started his working life in the back of an ambulance. From 2018 to 2021 he was an emergency medical technician with Haztech, an experience that shaped how he thinks about pressure, responsibility and what people owe each other. He still describes himself as a former paramedic first.

In his early twenties he moved into technology. In 2022 he made a long-term personal allocation to the crypto market as an investor, and that same year, at 24, he became an early supporter and community advocate for Dione Protocol, a role focused on community and growth rather than capital or operations. He helped build one of crypto's most engaged grassroots communities, growing it to 120,000 followers, a 12,000-member Telegram community and hundreds of millions of impressions in 2024. That year he supported the ecosystem's migration from an Ethereum-based token to its own Layer 1 blockchain as a community voice. The chain wound down in 2026; what carried forward was a repeatable approach to launches, community and narrative that he now applies across his companies. In 2026 he founded Ridgeway Capital Consulting, a venture studio that incubates consumer technology products, and Kosk Ventures, the company behind his media and consumer-brand work.

In 2026 he turned the camera on. His short-form commentary on dating, standards and what he calls the return of chivalry reached more than 40 million viewers in a single quarter, with an audience that is 81 percent women. His take on Toronto's dating culture was picked up by 6ixbuzz, the Toronto Sun and Yahoo Finance, and led to a live segment on NEWSTALK 1010 with Jim Richards. The idea behind the content is simple: one woman, treated extraordinarily well, by a man who holds himself to a standard.

He is now developing a recurring interview series with founders, athletes, actors and couples on ambition, relationships and the cost of success, alongside training as an on-camera performer. Longer term he is building toward hosting, acting and a consumer brand with his name on it.

He lives in Toronto.
