What you get

Five things every Playbook unlocks

Same depth a grant consultant gives you in a $1,500 first meeting — distilled into one grant page you keep forever.

Realistic award amount

Government pages show the marketing maximum (IRAP says “up to $10M”). The Playbook shows the actual range typical SMEs receive — often a fraction of the ceiling. So you know if it's worth your week before you start.

Application checklist + steps

Every required document, every form, every step in submission order. So you can scope the work in 5 minutes, gather what's missing, and not get blocked at step 7 because you didn't know you needed an audited financial statement.

Reviewer-informed insider tip

The single thing reviewers told us they look for — and the single thing that gets applications rejected. Often the difference between a 10% and a 60% approval rate is one paragraph written differently.

5 common rejection pitfalls

The most common reasons applications get cut at this specific program. Avoid the five things that quietly kill 60% of submissions before a reviewer even reads the substance.

Stacking strategy

Which other programs combine with this one for 2–3× total funding — and the order to apply in. Most applicants leave money on the table by treating each program in isolation. Stacking turns $50K into $150K.

Common questions

Frequently asked

What's actually inside a Playbook?

The full intelligence pack for one specific grant: realistic award amounts, the application step-by-step, the document checklist, the insider tip from someone who's seen reviewer-side, the five most common rejection pitfalls, and a stacking strategy for combining with other programs. Roughly the depth of what a grant consultant would tell you in a $1,500 first meeting.

How is this different from Premium ($29/mo)?

A Playbook unlocks ONE grant ($19 one-time, yours forever). Premium unlocks ALL 350+ Playbooks plus your personalized funding roadmap, deadline alerts and application tracker ($29/mo, 30-day money-back). Pick a Playbook if you have one grant in mind. Pick Premium if you're applying to multiple this year — you'll break even after just two unlocks.

What if I'm not sure which grant is right?

Take our 2-minute precision quiz. We score 350+ active Canadian grants against your profile (province, industry, business stage, funding need) and surface your strongest matches. After the quiz, this page automatically pins your top 3 matches at the top with personalized match-score percentages — so you can unlock the one most likely to be worth your time.

Is the $19 a subscription? What about renewals?

One-time. No auto-renew. No expiry. The Playbook is yours forever, even if program details update later (the updates land on the same unlocked page).

What if the Playbook isn't useful?

30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Email [email protected] within 30 days and we refund in full. Your unlock is revoked when the refund processes. Full refund policy.

Can I unlock multiple Playbooks?

Yes. Each $19 covers one grant. If you unlock 2+, we'll suggest upgrading to Premium ($29/mo, all 350+ unlocked) — but only if it actually saves you money. Most users only need one.

Do I need to be incorporated?

It depends on the grant. About 45% of Canadian programs require incorporation, but many don't. Each grant page shows its eligibility in the free section — check there before unlocking. The Playbook itself surfaces the full requirement list (incorporation, revenue floors, demographic eligibility, qualifying industries) so you know exactly what's needed.

Who writes these Playbooks?

Our research team, drawing on official program documentation, conversations with program officers and applicants, and published outcome data. Every grant page is reviewed and refreshed regularly. The realistic award figures aren't government marketing — they come from public award data + applicant reporting.
