Free Money Your Startup Is Leaving on the Table and How to Claim It

SR&ED (Scientific Research & Experimental Development) is the Canadian federal government’s largest single source of support for business R&D, delivering millions in refundable tax credits each year to companies of all sizes. But for pre-PMF founders, the program can feel complex, intimidating, and disconnected from the day-to-day reality of building a company. The result? Founders leave non-dilutive capital on the table every year, which is capital that could extend runway, fund the next sprint, or accelerate a pivot.

In this session, the team from Boast will break down SR&ED in plain language, walk through the most common mistakes founders make, and show exactly how to maximize your claim. We’ll also hear directly from founders who’ve used government funding to extend their runway and fuel their growth.
