“Upgraded gave us specialized grant expertise we didn't have in-house and moved at the speed our startup needed. They handled the complexities so we could focus on building. With their support, we secured Mitacs funding and expanded our team. The best part? Clear communication—we always knew where we stood.”
“The R&D tax credit discovery alone paid for Upgraded 10x over. We had no idea we qualified until the AI analyzed our operations.”
