Bridging the ScaleUp gap

Scale Up Canada is a not-for-profit public-private partnership connecting Canadian innovators, industry experts, and strategic investors for global commercialization of Canada-made innovation, investor readiness of high-potential Canadian startups, and capacity building of community organizations working on the ground with Canadian founders.

We work with government funding streams to provide matching, non-dilutive, non-repayable grants  of up to  $50K.

The scope of work can include growth, increased traction, geographic expansion outside of Canada, new sales, new distribution/strategic partnerships, fundraising support etc. 

Scale Up Canada’s mission is to establish and enhance Canada as a source of world class innovation, and help accelerate success for high potential Canadian startups by providing them access and intros to investors and strategic customers at a global scale. Our grants are sector and stage agnostic, and open to all startups and scaleups based in Canada.

If you are a Canada250 cohort company, there’s no need to re-apply. Please contact us and we can use your existing application.
