Make a Submission

To be considered for venture capital funding, you must first submit a business plan to the foundation. If your business meets our funding requirements, we will schedule a meeting with you and the key members of your team to investigate the opportunity further. From there we’ll decide what’s next. We may request more information, introduce you to other investors, or start our process.

Before you make your submission, we encourage you to visit our online business development library, where you’ll find our business plan model, and information like how to make your employees investors, presentation tips, and creating a board of directors. Plus, we have organized a list of online resources that we think are some the best on the Internet for developing your innovation, your business model, and yourself as an entrepreneur.

Please submit your business plan electronically to proposals@nbif.ca.

Applicants should refrain from submitting any proprietary information, intellectual property or trade secrets with their initial application. If additional information is required, the Foundation will advise the applicant.
