ProgramSmartStart Seed Fund (Ontario)
Gives Ontario tech and IP-driven startups seed funding plus a training grant, typically requiring the founder to match the funds.
About
Businesses apply through a participating regional innovation centre with a business and funding plan, and must be first-time applicants meeting age, ownership and IP-ownership requirements plus an endorsement. Funding typically comes with a 1:1 matching requirement, meaning the founder needs to bring an equivalent amount of their own funding.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
