Defence funding in Canada is changing fast—but a surge of interest doesn’t mean every funder is a great fit for every company. What makes a defence startup venture-backable? When does bank financing make sense? And how do your stage, procurement timeline, export ambitions, and choice to build for dual-use—or defence alone—shape your capital stack?
North Vector Dynamics founder Paul Ziade puts those questions to investors from Garage, Georgian, CIBC Innovation Banking, and BDC. Expect candid perspectives on what each is looking for, where their mandates differ, and what founders should find out before they pitch.
