Our mission
We help founders scale their companies with non-dilutive venture debt.
Our services empower you to maximize your government tax incentives, better manage cash flow, and invest more in the areas you need. All so you can grow the business you’ve built without giving away equity too soon.
Our story
Venbridge was born to help technology companies grow. The market lacked an automated, fast and responsive service provider who understood the needs of technology companies. At Venbridge, we are technology leaders, not bankers, and we know how to bring value to SMEs. As a team, we have provided hundreds of SR&ED funding and tax credit financing. We love meeting new people, being there when you really need us and doing everything possible to help you grow your business.
