Each year the US and Canadian governments provide billions in R&D Tax Credits to fund businesses, but the application process is cumbersome, time-consuming, prone to expensive audits, and receiving the money can take as long as 16 months.

Boast.AI helps hundreds of companies on both sides of the border to automate the R&D tax credit application process, so they can get more money faster for less time and risk.
