1. Describe the problem:
I constantly see how entrepreneurs and small businesses in Canada miss out on available grants, subsidies, and funding programs simply because they don't know which programs they qualify for or how to apply properly. Most programs have strict eligibility rules, complex forms, and tight deadlines. Without expert guidance, many waste time applying to the wrong programs or give up entirely.
2. How often does the problem occur?
Constantly. Every funding cycle (monthly, quarterly, or annually), thousands of dollars in available assistance remain unused because businesses lack the time or expertise to apply correctly.
3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?
I've tried to create a system to help entrepreneurs, but I face the challenge of not being able to scale my knowledge. Existing platforms fail to match suitable programs to specific businesses, and the manual approach requires too much time.
4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?
I'm ready to actively use the service and share a percentage of received grants - 5-10% of each successfully obtained amount. I can also serve as an expert on the Canadian grants market and help validate the solution.
5. Problem author:
The author of this problem is looking for a technical co-founder to create a solution.
