Equity funding for Canadian businesses

43 of the 43 programs available to Canadian businesses are open as of our latest check on September 4, 2026.

Over $7.5M in total funding is currently accessible among equity programs across the 43 open programs as of our latest check.

Among equity programs, the next deadlines: Québec Research Fund - Health Sector (FRQS) closes on October 4, 2026.

The funder takes an ownership stake or invests alongside private investors rather than granting or lending. There is nothing to repay, but it dilutes ownership, and the process runs closer to investment diligence than to a grant application.

No — appearing on this equity programs list is not an eligibility decision, and every funder applies its own criteria. Happly checks your business against each of these 43 programs and tells you which you actually match, before you spend time on an application.
