OVERALL PURPOSE The objectives of this individual assignment are to:

1. Analyze the various sources of funding available to start-ups to fund growth

2. Research alternate Customer funding models

PROCESS

Part 1: Canadian sources of funds for startups. Identify and analyze the various sources of funds available in Canada to support startups. Be exhaustive in your identification of sources. Therefore include private (several sources to consider), for profit, not-for-profit, public and government (federal for Canada, provincial - Ontario only, and municipal - Ottawa only) sources, but NOT venture capital funds. As sources may vary with time, consider recent data (2016+). Provide names of key financial players & programs/funds, purpose of the organization/fund, nature of the financial offering, selection criteria, industry sectors, restrictions, and any other relevant data. This is an analysis, not just a blind repeat of the home page of the financial sources. You will need to dig to derive a good understanding. For instance some organizations deliver startup funds on behalf of other organizations. So you need to actually clarify this in your report. Expectations are that you will provide information on a minimum of 10 private, public and government sources of funds. Make sure to structure your analysis accordingly and to provide relevant details in appendices. Do not forget to cite your sources! This part of the assignment is in general for any startups (so not specific to your business opportunity).

Part 2: Customer funding The purpose is to identify alternate models of customer funding to support growth. From your research and class materials identify 5 sources of customer funding and provide an example of each. This part is also in general for any startups.
