- Fundica is a privately held financial services corporation based in Montreal, Quebec, that has developed an AI-powered funding search platform for banks, credit unions, business accelerators, economic development agencies and other entrepreneur-supporting organizations across North America. Businesses can access Fundica’s search technology through the website of an entrepreneur-supporting organization and use it to find relevant funding sources based on company profile and stated needs. The Fundica platform contains information about public sector and private sector funding opportunities in Canada and the U.S., such as grants, tax credits, loans, loan guarantees, equity funding programs, and venture capital investments. The platform is maintained by internet bots, Fundica researchers, and funders themselves. Because it seeks to play matchmaker between businesses and appropriate funders, Fundica has been dubbed "a sort of eHarmony of the funding world." Between 2013 and 2019, Fundica organized the Fundica Roadshow, an annual event held in cities across Canada and in the US. The Fundica Roadshow was intended to better educate entrepreneurs on funding opportunities as well as facilitate connections between funders and entrepreneurs. (en)
