Our Legacy
Our name pays tribute to Howard Roark, the protagonist in The Fountainhead - a symbol of bold independence, unshakable integrity, and visionary thinking that refuses to conform.
​
That same spirit lives in our founder, Dara Albright, a trailblazer of the crowdfinance movement and one of its earliest, most fearless voices. With a rare blend of financial insight, edge, and empathy, Dara has spent decades championing innovation to build a more inclusive, modern financial system.
​
Through groundbreaking articles, industry-defining conferences, and relentless advocacy for financial fairness, Dara has helped shape the future of capital formation and continues to redefine it.
​
Roark Ridge Advisory is the next chapter in that mission.
A place where innovation meets community.
Where today’s investors, financial advisers, and entrepreneurs are empowered to succeed in a modern financial landscape reshaped by technological innovation, policy reform, and emerging asset classes.
