NON-DILUTIVE SOURCES OF FUNDING IN CANADA

Founders now have various financing options depending on what they are building and what industry they are focused on, from a myriad of micro-VC funds and solo-VCs to traditional Private Equity firms. After talking about Fundraising in North America in our previous course, time to learn about the many non-dilutive sources of funding available in Canada for startups.


Each year the US and Canadian governments provide over $15 billion in R&D Tax Credits to help businesses fund their product development. 

Did you know that Canadian businesses can get up to 64% of their engineering spend as a CASHBACK and do not have to be profitable?

In this course, Regina Figuroa, Launch’s Legal and Investment Researcher, shared everything you need to know about these government programs and the application processes to help you get more money faster minus the paperwork and audit risk.
