Early-Stage Funding Gaps a Priority with $750 Million in #Budget2025

NACO applauds the Federal Government’s recognition of Canada’s early-stage infrastructure and the critical role of “capital and networks” in empowering entrepreneurs “to launch and scale resilient, high-impact companies”.

Will Budget 2025 prioritize Canada's entrepreneurs?

We can mobilize $10-15B over 5 years to fuel our builders.

Thank you @NACOCanada for this honour! Building a nation like Canada is an inclusive effort that I am proud to be a part of. I have seen firsthand that investing in women is investing in better world. I applaud NACO’s leadership to support entrepreneurs in Canada.

[NACO Canada 🇨🇦 @NACOCanada]

We must double down on our nation’s builders—infusing entrepreneurs with the risk capital they need to scale world-class companies.

Connect with investors and tech leaders in Ottawa on April 29-30.

🌟Today’s the big day! 🚀 I’m excited to join @KeshiaChante @MicheleRomanow @cbcdragon and @weareluxbio Paige Whitehead as we announce something special that’s going to fuel the growth journey for Canada’s entrepreneurs. 🇨🇦

We’re going to dive into how building the right connections can break down barriers, unlock funding, and drive real economic impact. This is about more than just business—it’s about opening doors and creating opportunities that matter.

Stay tuned! 🔑✨ #Elevate2024 #AngelsAndDreams @NACOCanada

[Claudio Rojas @claudio__rojas]

Big dreams drive the ambitions of entrepreneurs. In a high interest rate environment, entrepreneurs desperately need more angel investors and venture capital to grow into the job creation machines of the future. The inclusion rate hike to capital gains sends a loud and clear signal that Canada is hostile to investors, big dreams and global ambitions.

We need to be doing everything we can to turn Canada into the best place for entrepreneurs to build 🇨🇦

What's proposed in the federal budget will do the complete opposite. Innovators and entrepreneurs will suffer and their success will be penalized -- this is not a wealth tax, it's a tax on innovation and risk taking.

Our policy failures are America's gains. At a time when our country is facing critically low productivity and business investment our political leaders are failing our country's entrepreneurs.

Please start listening to the people in the arena.
