Canada’s Top Fintech Startups Compete for $75,000 Prize at Startupfest

Startupfest 2025

This year, Startupfest in Montreal is set to award a non-dilutive cash prize of $75,000 to one of Canada’s most promising fintech startups. The Fintech grant, launched by Digital Commerce Group and Apaylo, aims to recognize and elevate remarkable early-stage companies in the fintech sector.

Significance of the Fintech Grant

The Fintech grant is not just about funding; it’s seen as a launchpad for startups. Recipients will gain valuable exposure to potential investors, industry leaders, and a broader fintech ecosystem. The initiative seeks to accelerate the growth of Canadian fintech companies while amplifying their visibility and strategic connections.

Eligibility Criteria for Startups

To qualify for this prestigious award, startups must meet specific criteria. They should be private companies incorporated in Canada, positioned at the seed stage (pre-Series A), and have a minimum viable product. Additionally, they need to demonstrate market traction and a clear pathway to revenue. Founding teams are also expected to showcase their expertise in the fintech landscape and their capacity for growth.

Announcing the Finalists

The application process for the Fintech grant closed earlier this year, and ten outstanding finalists have been announced. These innovative firms include AML Incubator, Aya Pay, Ezo, Kweeqpay, Coat, Neobanc, Prestar, Ready Go Plan, The Matriarch Society, and Warimatch.

Event Details and Timeline

The excitement kicks off on July 9 at the Startupfest village, where these ten teams will present their innovative solutions. On July 10, the top five finalists will be selected for further deliberations. The winner of the $75,000 prize will be announced during the festival’s closing ceremony on July 11.

Historical Success of Startupfest Investments

While Startupfest cannot guarantee investments resulting from the competition, its track record is impressive—over 95% of past participants who received investment awards have successfully secured funding. This highlights the conference’s role as a significant catalyst for startup growth in the fintech arena.

Conclusion: A Platform for Growth

For emerging fintech companies in Canada, the Fintech grant represents more than just capital. It provides a unique platform to fast-track their journey, enhance visibility, and build crucial connections in the industry. As Startupfest approaches, anticipation builds around which startup will walk away with the coveted prize and the opportunities it brings.
