MaRS Momentum

Scaling a high-growth company toward major revenue milestones brings challenges that go far beyond product-market fit. For Canadian businesses with global ambitions, MaRS Momentum offers hands-on, strategic support designed for leaders navigating rapid expansion, new markets, and increasingly complex organizations. Delivered by MaRS Discovery District in Ontario, this program is built for startups and growing companies that are already gaining traction and are focused on reaching their next stage of scale.

Rather than traditional cash funding, MaRS Momentum provides non-repayable support through customized advisory services and deep executive engagement. Participating companies work closely with experienced operators, entrepreneurs, and global experts to develop data-driven growth plans covering areas like leadership development, organizational design, sales acceleration, international expansion, and capital readiness. A key part of the program is its curated peer community, where founders and executives connect in confidential forums to share real-world insights and tackle challenges alongside others at a similar growth stage. Companies also benefit from access to investor networks, media and public affairs support, and MaRS’ broader innovation ecosystem.

Momentum has supported companies across sectors such as clean technology, health innovation, advanced manufacturing, and digital platforms, helping them generate significant revenue growth, raise capital, and create jobs. For ambitious Canadian businesses looking for expert guidance and a trusted network to support their scale-up journey, exploring the full details of MaRS Momentum can help determine if it’s the right fit.
