With a sales career spanning over two decades — from early days in mortgage origination to high-stakes commercial finance — Ricky Panchana brings deep frontline experience to his role as Founder and CEO of 1M Ventures.
After closing over 750 transactions and spending years navigating every stage of the sales cycle — from cold outreach to complex deal structuring — he recognized a frustrating reality: talented consultants spending their days buried in inboxes and CRMs, instead of doing the work that drives real revenue.
He founded 1M Ventures to change that — by building scalable, AI-powered systems that free consultants to focus on advising, closing, and growing. Today, he helps financial professionals implement systems that:
Start 30–50 warm conversations per month
Respond to leads in under 2 minutes
Save 10–15 hours of admin time each week
Dramatically improve close rates with personalized follow-ups
As the business evolved, so did the needs of his clients. For those thinking beyond just growth — toward acquisition, succession, or scale through strategic partnerships — Ricky now brings M&A strategy to the independent advisor space. His team helps consultants position for acquisition, roll up smaller practices, and create scalable, efficient firms that are attractive to investors and buyers alike.
What sets Ricky apart is the rare blend of deep financial expertise and early adoption of AI automation. He bridges the gap between tech and strategic growth — designing solutions that align with your workflow, CRM, and long-term business goals.
