Angel Investor Syndicates
Raising your first institutional or angel round is a critical juncture. We work alongside founders to minimize equity dilution by pairing early-stage capital with matching government grants, such as IRAP and SR&ED.
Our advisory team ensures your corporate structure and IP strategy are optimized for angel syndication. By demonstrating a credible roadmap for non-dilutive leverage, we increase your pre-money valuation and lower the perceived risk for early investors.

Venture Capital Architecture
As companies scale into Series A and B rounds, the capitalization table becomes increasingly complex. Canadian Funding Partners maps your technical roadmap against upcoming institutional rounds to ensure venture capital is utilized exclusively for growth, not subsidized R&D.
We heavily deploy SR&ED financing and advanced non-dilutive lending to bridge the gap between priced rounds, giving founders the runway required to hit milestone metrics and drive up subsequent valuations.
Private Equity & Acquisitions
For mature organizations undergoing recapitalization or buyout scenarios, maximizing EBITDA is the ultimate objective. We conduct rigorous SR&ED and capital expenditure audits prior to transactions to identify hidden tax assets and undiscovered refund claims.
By structuring M&A activity carefully, we ensure legacy tax credits survive the change of control, significantly increasing enterprise value at the time of exit.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of equity capital are covered here?
Angel and seed capital, institutional venture capital, and private equity for later-stage growth, buyouts and ownership transitions.
How does government funding fit alongside equity?
Grants and tax credits are non-dilutive, so they reduce how much equity a company has to sell to reach the same milestone, and they provide independent evidence that technical work has been reviewed.
What preparation do investors expect?
A complete data room, financial statements and a model with stated assumptions, a clean cap table, and documentation of contracts and intellectual property.
Does Canadian Funding Partners raise capital on our behalf?
No. We help prepare the business and its documentation, and coordinate with the appropriate specialists; we do not act as a securities dealer or promise introductions.
