The Bootstrap Awards celebrate self-capitalized businesses and have “bootstrapped” their growth with limited outside funding and commercial success. The awards were created to recognize the outstanding achievements of early-stage companies in all industries, both for-profit and non-profit, and across a range of distinct criteria-based categories.

Eligibility:

Companies can be nominated or apply directly. Must be located in the National Capital Region, from Eastern Ontario to Western Quebec, that have been in business less than seven years, and that have received no more than $500,000 in outside capital funding (excluding debt).

Please apply by January 31st, 2018.
