About Pocketed: Help businesses across North America grow & thrive!

A lack of financial resources is one of the primary reasons businesses fail. With billions of dollars in ‘free money’ (grants & tax credits) available every year to small businesses and start-ups, how is this still possible? The system is broken – and that’s why we built Pocketed.

We launched Pocketed to help businesses and start-ups in North America easily access billions of dollars every year in grants and tax credits. Our new Pocketed Grant Platform leverages intelligent algorithms to help businesses get easily matched with grants they qualify for in minutes. Then we provide them with access to grant writers, lenders, and other support to increase their success rate and get faster access to cash.

Since November 2020, we have built a fully grant funded team, launched alpha in February 2021 (oversubscribed by 500%), achieved a 95/100 Net Promoter Score from alpha users, launched beta in March 2021 with 10x user growth from alpha, launched a US pilot in June, were named a 2021 “Emerging Rocket (ICT)”, and were featured in the Globe and Mail. We just closed our oversubscribed seed financing round and are scaling fast across North America!
