Datashark is a Starter Company Plus grant recipient

Datashark has been selected as a grant recipient through Starter Company Plus, a program run by the St. Catharines Enterprise Centre and funded by Ontario's Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. The program supports new and growing businesses across the Niagara region — St. Catharines, Welland, Thorold, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Lincoln, West Lincoln, and Grimsby — with training, mentorship, and grant funding.

What this means in practice

Nothing changes about how we work with clients. What it does confirm is external, third-party vetting of the business by a regional economic development body, on top of the enterprise systems work the studio is built on. For prospects weighing whether a small automation studio can be trusted with production-critical workflows, that's one more real signal alongside the live demos and work we've shipped.

Thank you

Thanks to the St. Catharines Enterprise Centre and the Grant Committee for the support, and to everyone in the Niagara small business community building alongside us. If you're a fellow Niagara-region business figuring out where automation fits into your growth, let's talk — regional business helping regional business is exactly the kind of thing this program is for.
