Unlock SR&ED Funding with Employment Hero
Build Smarter Go-To-Market and Research & Development Teams While Unlocking Government Innovation Funding
If you're hiring engineers, scaling product, or building your go-to-market team, you may already be generating significant eligible R&D spend through SR&ED — without fully realizing it.
Led by Employment Hero, this 45-minute live workshop is designed for founders who want to understand how to turn team growth into non-dilutive funding, not just rising burn. In this interactive session, you'll learn how SR&ED actually applies to your startup in practice - not theory.
You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of what qualifies, how much your company could potentially claim, and how hiring and team structure directly impact your return.
The session is highly interactive, featuring live polls, real startup scenarios, and a simple "your startup" SR&ED estimation exercise so you can see your own potential range in real time. While the focus is firmly on SR&ED, we'll also briefly show how founders structure payroll and workforce data to support cleaner R&D tracking as teams scale.
Key Session Takeaways:
- What actually qualifies for SR&ED in a modern startup
- How much your company could realistically be missing in claims
- How hiring and R&D structure directly impact your refund
- How to think about SR&ED as part of your funding strategy
Who Should Attend:
This workshop is designed for startups and scale-ups, as well as leadership team members who are growing their teams or preparing to add employees. It is relevant across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, IT and software, health sciences, oil and gas, biotech, construction, agriculture, and food and beverage.
Lineup:
Sarah Lesperance — VP & Head of SR&ED Strategy & Growth, Employment Hero
