FOR FUNDABLE FOUNDERS

Fundable. Not just functional.

Investors and grant committees don't fund screenshots. Codalio turns your idea into an investor-ready PRD and a clickable prototype they can actually trust — in 15 minutes with a human, or instantly with the platform.

  • A spec investors read

  • A prototype they can click

  • Real code you own

Backed by real founder workshops with NORCAT, IION and L-SPARK across Northern Ontario.

What makes a startup fundable, not just functional?

Three things a screenshot can't give you: a document investors read, a prototype they can click, and code you keep.

A spec investors read

A PRD that answers what VCs and grant reviewers actually ask: scope, risks, milestones, and cost — in language they trust.

A prototype they can click

Not a slide deck. A working, clickable prototype that proves the product is real before you ask for a cheque.

Real code you own

When the round closes you already have production code on your stack — not a throwaway demo you rebuild from scratch.

How do founders fund the build?

We run free workshops with Northern Ontario innovation partners on exactly this: the funding, and the build.

LATEST WORKSHOP

NORCAT Innovation — Workshop #4

July 2, 2026 Sudbury + virtual

A free 90-minute session for founders stuck on the same wall — "I can't build it, and I can't afford to." We tackled the funding (RAII), the build (idea → production MVP with no dev team), and NORCAT mentorship.

THE FUNDING

$0K

in non-dilutive RAII support — 50% of eligible AI project costs, TRL 7+, for Northern Ontario SMEs.

One slice of the $2.3B federal AI for All strategy. The funding environment is paying for AI adoption.

Eligibility, TRL and deadlines vary — confirm current terms before applying.

“The difference between a maybe and a term sheet is often the spec behind the demo.”
