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.”

Common questions

Investors and grant reviewers fund evidence, not screenshots: a clear scope, a credible technical plan, and a prototype they can actually open. Codalio produces a PRD and a clickable prototype that show your idea is real and buildable.

A PRD with scope, milestones, and cost, plus a clickable prototype they can open in the browser — both generated from a single conversation about your idea.

Yes. The technical scope, feasibility, and milestone breakdown are exactly the artifacts innovation grants (like Northern Ontario's RAII) ask you to document. It strengthens the application — it is not a guarantee of funding.

15 minutes with a human in a working session, or instantly on the platform. Either way you leave with a starting PRD and a prototype.
