Funding Requirements

When you’re ready to get started, you can make a submission to our venture capital fund in the form of a business plan. We understand that some of the information requested by our business plan model may not be accessible, yet. However, the more complete your business plan is, the easier it will be for us to understand and evaluate it. Speculation should be clearly stated, with reasoning for any assumptions made.

To enter our process, your product or service should generally fit within one of our strategic industries, however, depending on the opportunity, will not eliminate you from consideration. Your company’s headquarters and operations must be in New Brunswick. Plus, your business plan must present a future “exit” opportunity for the Foundation, for example, a buy-out, initial public offering, merger, or acquisition. It’s by doing this that we can start something new by helping other early-stage innovative companies in New Brunswick take flight. If you would like to learn more about our process, what you need in your business plan, or if you have questions about the different exit strategies listed, contact us.

If you’re not currently in New Brunswick, you can still apply, as long as you meet our funding requirements and are committed to growing your company from here.
