If you’re like most emerging Canadian technology companies, it happens regularly (maybe too often); and the think.COLLECTIVE is here to provide much needed direction when these types of concerns are raised.

One commonly shared distraction we hear about with great frequency is finding access to capital. On one hand, a natural thought by companies who are focused on R&D is to recover a portion of their innovative-related expenditures through the SR&ED program; an essential funding source to their business. But what if your company is looking for capital to make the next big initiative possible; recouping a portion of that cost isn’t exactly helpful in that moment. And what if the effort isn’t necessarily directly tied to technological innovation; what if your company needs to explore market opportunities outside of Canada? Perhaps you’re interested in starting a relationship with an academic partner? What if you need to expand your sales and marketing teams to drive growth? The think.COLLECTIVE has the resources you need when these types of questions arise. There are many considerations that need to be examined with an inclusive approach to ensure the right opportunities are identified and the right decision is made for your business. But, it can be exhaustive; so let us lighten the load.

Our Commitment to Your Company

As part of our commitment to your company, our advisory team will identify practical funding opportunities based on the overall vision for you company. From federal and provincial grant programs you may qualify for, to introductions to investors eager to connect with companies in your specific field, our goal is to understand your wants and needs, then formulate strategic campaigns to ensure those goals are realized. Perhaps in your case, it’s sufficient to know that there’s a way of getting an advance on your SR&ED refund this year; if that’s the case, we can help there too, along with a number of other non-dilutive financing options.

Whether you are looking for an introduction, strategic advisory or contribution into a proposal, our synergistic approach will make sure that no stone is left unturned, and more importantly, we allow you to remain focused on working ON your business, rather than getting caught up in it.
