“Government grants represent a financial market that is almost ten times the size of Venture Capital funding in Canada, but are difficult to navigate,” said Fundingportal CEO, Teri Kirk.

“We’re thrilled to partner with ThinkData to provide our unique, accurate, and outcomes-oriented data to a wider audience.”

In fact, Budget 2019 announced new incentives for businesses and municipalities that promise $13.9B in additional funding through grants and incentives over the coming decade. 

Bryan Smith, ThinkData CEO, says, “Government funding is incredibly valuable to businesses of every size, but it’s difficult to identify what’s getting awarded, and where.
