Unlocking Funding to Fuel Your Growth: Optimizing Your Capital Stack

​Designed for founders, operators, and finance leaders, this monthly session provides valuable insights and tactical advice, tips, and actions you can take to secure the funding you need to grow.

​This month, we've partnered with Spencer Gunning from Tailwind Ventures, a Calgary-based firm that enables ventures to secure capital for growth. This session will provide a playbook for identifying, evaluating, and securing different forms of financing - and the importance of being diligently prepared to pursue them. 

​By joining this session, you will learn: 

• ​The wide range of options to finance your business

• ​How to evaluate and secure the options available to you 

• ​How capital providers will evaluate your company

• ​How grants, SR&ED, and other non-dilutive funding fit in your capital stack

• ​How to identify and address your blind spots to reduce your chance of a "no" from capital providers

​Attendees can participate in-person at McCarthy Tétrault's HQ in Calgary, or virtually via Zoom.
