WHAT WE DO

Grants. SR&ED.
Subsidies. Tax credits.

We map every program you qualify for, sequence and stack them, maximizing your ability to get funding. We manage the full grant lifecycle, saving you time, money and stress. 

READINESS

Funding Readiness

We build the assets and narrative that make you fundable (data room, technical story, financial model) before a single application goes out.

STRATEGY

Funding Strategy

We match your company to the right program at the right time, and sequence your applications so one does not disqualify you from another.

IMPLEMENTATION

Fully Managed Applications

We write and submit everything (grants, RFPs, SR&ED claims, tax credits, awards, loans, challenges, bids, subsidies) in the language funders understand. We also facilitate industry and academic partnerships. 

ONGOING

Reporting Support

We track deadlines, manage post-award reporting for continued compliance.

WHAT THE RELATIONSHIP LOOKS LIKE

Not a one-off application.
An ongoing partner.

Most founders come for one grant. They stay because we catch the next three before they miss them.

CADENCE

Ongoing strategy reviews

Every 90 days we revisit your roadmap against new programs, your stage, and what's changed in the business. Funding strategy should move with the company, not stay frozen from kickoff.

MONITORING

We flag programs you didn't know existed

New intakes open constantly. Our AI tool continually tracks programs. We bring you the ones that fit.

DEDICATED LEAD

One person who knows your business

You get a dedicated funding lead who understands your technology, your numbers, and your roadmap.

HONESTY

We tell you when to apply

A weak application costs time and can hurt future odds. We'll tell you when a program is not worth the effort, even when it means less work for us. That's what a partner does.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Founders. Builders. Innovators.

FAQs

What grants do you help with?

Do you only help with grants?

add

We do much more than just grants. We manage RFP responses, challenges, bids and tenders, tax credits, loans and subsidy applications as part of a full non-dilutive strategy.

Do you handle SR&ED?

add

Yes. SR&ED claims are a core part of our non-dilutive stack. We identify eligible R&D activities, prepare the technical and financial claim, and manage the filing and any CRA review.

How much does it cost?

add

We’ll find a way to work with you. Typically we work with two models: a flat project fee, or a fixed retainer. We also bundle our advisory services with an hourly rate. We'll recommend which best suits your needs. 

How long does it take?

add

Typically, our process takes 4–8 weeks from strategy to submission for grants. SR&ED claims follow the tax cycle. Post-award reporting and renewals are ongoing.

Do I need revenue?

add

6+ months of operating history is recommended. We work with companies from pre-seed through Series A across sectors including technology, health, climate, defence/dual use and agriculture.
