Who is David Foldi?
I’m no one special!
I’m just an ordinary bloke that’s been having a go at my own businesses since I was 21 years old. Maybe there’s something I’ve done that can help you?

2008 – 2014
Property development that the “Global Financial Crisis” eventually shut down
This was a low point, I lost everything due to the properties we had built never returned to pre “GFC” prices, so I started again. But this time with a new business model, now it was all about building multiple income streams in the hope that any future economic downturn wouldn’t shut them all down
2014 – and still going – Sales rep for “Digital Document Solutions DDS” in Melbourne.
Essential Services Broker providing better value for Electricity, Gas, Mobile Phones, NBN, Merchant services and other services.
Now I can be anywhere in the world and still make sales.
2020 – and still going – Shape Aluminium Ballina.
By having 3 very different income streams I was able to get through Covid and come out the other side in a strong position to keep providing for my family.
