The Problem
Canadian founders are leaving millions on the table.
The grant system is deliberately complex. Without a consultant or a tool like GrantPilot, most eligible companies never even try.
Too complex to navigate
205+ programs across federal, provincial, and municipal levels — each with different eligibility rules, deadlines, and forms. No single person can track it all.
Consultants take 20–30%
The traditional route costs you $30,000 on a $100,000 claim. Grant consultants provide value but their fee structure means you win less than you should.
Deadlines kill applications
IRAP requires pre-approval before you spend. SR&ED has hard CRA filing windows. Miss one step and you lose the entire claim — permanently.
The Solution
Everything you need to claim what's yours.
GrantPilot handles the full grant lifecycle — from discovery through submission and tracking — so you can focus on building.

From Founders
Real money. Real startups.
★★★★★
"We claimed $142,000 in SR&ED last year. GrantPilot identified eligible expenses our accountant missed and drafted the T661 narrative in an afternoon. The $2,988/year subscription paid for itself 47x over."
★★★★★
"IRAP approved $275,000 for our team. GrantPilot told us to apply before we hired two engineers — if we'd waited, we'd have been ineligible. That pre-approval timing alone was worth everything."
★★★★★
"We were paying a consultant $18,000/year. GrantPilot costs $299/month and does more — the stacking optimizer found a combination our consultant had never suggested. Switched immediately."

FAQ
Common questions.
GrantPilot is built for Canadian startups and SMBs — especially technology companies with R&D activity. If you spend money on wages, contractors, or materials for product development, you almost certainly qualify for SR&ED. Most companies we onboard discover $40,000–$200,000 in grants they didn't know they were eligible for.
For large claims (>$500K), we recommend having a CPA review the final T661. GrantPilot handles the narrative writing, expense categorization, and calculation — which is where most of the work (and most errors) happen. Your accountant spends 30 minutes reviewing rather than 30 hours doing. Most customers reduce their accounting costs significantly.
Our matching engine combines rule-based eligibility scoring with AI reasoning trained on actual grant program criteria. We show you a match score (0–100%) and the specific reasons you qualify — or don't. We err on the side of showing you borderline matches so you can make an informed decision, rather than filtering them out automatically.
Yes. Most Canadian grants go to the corporation, not the individual. As long as your company is incorporated in Canada (ideally as a CCPC), you're eligible for most programs regardless of where the founder was born. PGWP holders and permanent residents can typically access the full grant ecosystem.
