Deductly vs DIY

Why not just Google it yourself?

You can absolutely find Canadian funding on your own. The programs are public, the government Benefits Finder is free, and a determined founder with a spreadsheet can build a list. The question is whether the hours are worth it. Doing it properly means searching federal and provincial sites, reading eligibility fine print, checking what is still open, and working out what stacks. That is a weekend of work that goes stale the moment a deadline or a cap changes. Deductly is the same research, done for you, ranked, and kept current.
